SC - Tansy (again)

[Cindy Renfrow]

Hello!  Tansy flowers were all I could obtain at the time.  Please note,
tansy (the entire plant, including the seeds) is a medicinal herb, which
may cause abortion or death if taken in sufficient quantity.

Here are some web pages with more information:

This is why I suggested using an alternative bittering agent in the recipe.
