Answer:
The red spots on the leaves of the rhubarb plant are a leaf spot, most likely caused by a fungus.
Depending on the type of fungus, it does not usually affect the quality of the stalks, but rather is an aesthetic problem for the leaves.

YES, by all means I would harvest the rhubarb if the stalks do not show signs of fungus ... and ENJOY!
