Sorry, but that's just pure hogwash. Studies have found there is NO toxicity associated with exposure to human or animal skin. I handle oleanders all the time taking cuttings to root, and have never had so much as a rash. And you would have to intentionally ingest lots & lots of leaves just to make yourself sick.
So.....Not to worry. Enjoy your oleanders!!
