I'm assuming you're referring to Yellow Rattle as in Rhinanthus minor?
If so, then I've never heard that it's poisonous and a quick search online didn't suggest any problems either - it's not popular in grazing meadows because it's a semi-parasite and hence weakens the grass it feeds from, but I certainly wasn't aware that it was in any way harmful to health  |
