No.  What I said was that it should be used with caution, since it is
closely related to vipers bugloss, a poisonous plant that causes liver
disease when chronically used for tea or folk medicine. (The AMA handbook
cautions that one should assume the worst for closely related plants.)  The
small amount used [a single time] in this recipe should cause no problem.
