This invasive species is a good plant to be able to identify and eradicate, Giant Hogweed is no laughing matter.
guess it resembles queen annes lace and wild parsnip, only huge!
"The plant's sap, when it comes in contact with human skin, causes phytophotodermatitis, an itchy, burning inflammation that creates blisters, discoloration and scarring. The burn can take months to heal and the skin can remain sensitive to the sun for years after contact.
The offending toxins are furanocoumarins, which, with the aid of ultraviolet light, bind to a skin cell's nuclear DNA, causing the cell to self-destruct."
