It is a type of Ageratum and is toxic, but isn't too bad if you don't eat much. It is more of a problem with grazing animals due to the fact they eat lots and lots of a plant that can poison them. Avoid eating it of course.

There's buttercups (Ranunculus) in that image too. Both are common in overgrazed pastures and both are problems for grazing animals. For instance, if you see a picturesque scene with horses in a field of beautiful golden yellow buttercups you need to keep in mind those flowers are toxic to the horses and are there because the horses ate everything else. Which can be a dire situation. Such fields are owned by ignorant or neglectful farmers.

UPDATE: took him to the ER, ran blood tests and then had to check his appendix for swelling (why?) he is O.K. now. took him for some ice cream and he's learned a lesson about wilderness safety. thanks everybody!

I still think you need to turn yourself in to CTS for allowing this to happen (hell, just being from Kentucky should be cause enough).

lol It affects the liver, not appendix. They were fishing for an appendectomy. They love making money off those. Like I said before, unless he ate an entire plant or several plants, he'd be fine. And when not fine, you'd more than likely not even know it since there are no real symptoms. It causes temporary lesions on the liver.

He's more in danger of eating potatoes that might have green skin than from eating a small amount of Ageratum. Still, you always need to research anything very well before eating something you don't know about. It can be life or death, depending on the plant.
