I found no reliable information or good information. After an hour of looking, this is what i found.
Holly berries are poisonous in larger amounts to animals and humans. Info say 1-2 berries not poisonous but 20 berries can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and deadly. So don't eat holly berries.
One article said the bark, leaves and seeds are poisonous.
Another article said holly leaves and berries were used in medicinal products.
Can holly plants be burned indoor? No data but I would not.
Can holly be burned outside - yes, but not data on if there is any poisonous smoke like poison oak.
I have a few more references to look at.
