(taxus) that effects the heart then you die or what about the hemlock
or ragwort?

Ragwort is toxic. Very bitter taste so not likely that you would eat much.
Main problem with Ragwort appears to be that horses may eat the stuff
particularly in contaminated hay. Whether or not horses are particularly
susceptible to the poison seems a bit of a mystery.
