Best Answer

Buttercups are poisonous when consumed fresh. The toxins are not a threat when the plant is dried but when eaten (in large quantities) by grazing animals it can lead to colic, inflammation of mucous membranes, bloody stool, and other very unpleasant symptoms. Handling the live plant can sometimes cause skin irritation in humans and animals usually avoid ingesting them as they can cause blistering in the mouth. Creeping Buttercup (the most common species) is the least toxic and sometimes consumed by livestock and poultry but can lead to the aforementioned symptoms.
