Hi, EJ: Like who knows how many things these days, tarragon has been found to possibly have carcinogenic and/or mutagenic effects in the lab (animals). The jury is still out, but it is very probable that even if this is true, you would have to ingest huge amounts of tarragon at every meal for the rest of your life (however abbreviated it may or may not be!) in order to be harmed. You do what you want. We eat them!
