Yes, some people get positively horseterical. They use to have the
same reaction to yew, which is more poisonous but little or no more
dangerous, even to horses.

I notice one common myth perpetrated by http://www.ragwortfacts.com,
though:

It is OK to uproot ragwort where ever you see it

FALSE. It is illegal to uproot any wild plant if you are not
authorised by the owner or occupier of the land on which it grows
See Ragwort is sometimes protected.

It is not. Only plants in Schedule 8 are, and only Fen Ragwort is
included there.
