The Boston Fern is non-toxic but I still wouldn't the berries, if that is what you mean.
But yes it's fairly common to get rashes from handling the fern itself, or even just the berries.

The Boston Fern is not poisonous. Since people can be allergic to weird things, it might be possible that a rash could be caused if someone was allergic, but not likely.
