Oleander shrubs are literally everywhere here in SoCal and are one of a large number of poisonous plants that are common. My point is that there are probably 100 or even 1000 other things in and around one's house that present a greater danger to a child than the Oleander bush.
Of course, I just learned that Wayne has a child with Down's syndrome, and I understand his concerns better than I did before.
I do wish you and your family the very best, Wayne.

We've got poison ivy all over the place up here. Unless you walking around the woods in shorts, or are cutting down a tree that has it growing up the trunk (ask me how I know
), it's not a problem. It generally stays in the shady areas in the woods. It can also grow into a bush (aka: Poison Oak) in sunny areas, but I can't remember when I last saw that. If I see patch getting close to the yard, I just spray it. While it's no kudzu, it does grow pretty fast.
