NY State Department of Health Warning - Dangerous Weeds

WinterWarlock · Jun 23, 2009

Last week when I was out I saw quite a bit of this, and didn't know what it was...now I do.

Apparently one of the state inspector's is in the hospital because of the severe burns he received from Giant Hogweed...clearly the best advice is to stay away.

And I thought the Giant Hogweed was simply an imaginary plant - I know it only from an obscure Genesis tune from long ago... (1971). Quite a bit of that growing around the perimeter of some local ponds here in VT, locally called "Cow Parsley" among other things. Very distinct looking plant!

Northern Woodlands recently had an article about invasive species and the giant hogweed was mentioned as well as wild parsnip. They both sound like nasty stuff to get involved with.
