Chrysanthemums

• Allergy: asthematics or others who suffer allergic reactions to composite-type flowers may have allergic reactions to chrysanthemums,
• Minor Toxicity: ingestion may cause some minor symptoms such as rash, vomiting or diarrhea, but generally ingestion of small amounts will not cause any adverse symptoms at all.
• Dermatitis: exposure to juice or sap from these plants may produce a skin rash or irritation

Having said that, let me add that most people will suffer none of these reactions from eating the flowers and fewer still will suffer from enjoying a glass of chrysanthemum wine. Most toxicity lists err on the side of caution, listing such staples as apples, apricots, and even mustard.
