Medline Plus ......poisoning from sucking nectar from the flowers or chewing leaves from the oleander or yellow oleander plant. Poisoning can also happen if you eat honey made by bees that used the oleander plant for nectar.

Urban legend?

Dunno about that one, but a couple of adopted Russian orphans died from eating the leaves in SoCal a couple of years ago. Seems they were used to foraging for food back in Russia.

The papers at the time said such deaths were rare, because usually the kid will get sick before eating enough for a lethal dose.
