I grew some last summer. Although I was fairly careful, I did cut and handle it with bare hands and had no trouble.

Ammi will give you a nasty rash/blisters/discoloration if you get the sap of the plant on your skin and then your skin is exposed to the sun - the herb Rue does the same thing. As long as you are careful when cutting the stems for selling there shouldn't be any problems. Just tell your customers to wash their hands after giving the stems a fresh cut.

Thank you both for your insights. My kids are young and still learning to be careful with the flowers. A bout with a nasty rash would be really discouraging to them. Maybe we'll stick with the Zinnias and Sunflowers and maybe try some daisies.
Thanks again for your help!!

For a Queen Anne's Lace substitute, maybe look at Orlaya? I am trying it the first time this year, and learned about it on this forum. And, if you want to keep your children involved and interested, they may enjoy "Love in the Mist" or nigella with the unusual seed heads after the blooms.

Teresa, We actually had Nigella on our wish list - the Orlaya is a great idea - we may try it also.
Thanks!!
