No they are not. However, some people have severe Allergies to nuts (which is what a cashew is) and this may result in them becoming ill and possibly dieing. However, when freshly picked the seed is surrounded by a double shell containing a potent skin irritant called urushiol similar to that found in poison ivy.

The irritant is destroyed when the nut is prepared for eating by heating.
