Years ago, I heard that the iris fans were toxic to people.  The threat was 
that the crystalline substance (I'm not a chemist so I never knew the name of 
it) would cause the throat to swell causing a person to choke.  I didn't let 
small children around my irises as I divided and cleaned them for fear they 
would bite into one.  

I'd not heard they were toxic to cows, but the same idea might have started 
this theory.
