Crofton Weed (E. adenophorum)
 

It appears Crofton Weed is quite common on our property. I know this
plant is toxic to horses, but is it also toxic to people in the same
way EUPATORIUM rugosum is? I think the toxic component is called
Trememtone in E. rugosum. There appears to be no information about
its toxicity to people on the internet.

To the best of my knowledge it is not toxic to humans via ingestion but the
pollen can be dangerous to those allergic to it especially if they have
respiratory problems also.
