If you ever see your kid with some of these, do something!

And special thanks to China for spotted lanternflies.
Goats love it in my experience. I wouldn’t touch them afterwards though

If you ever touched this plant you’d know it. It burns really bad. I had a friend who was hospitalised after falling into a patch of this stuff.
The plant leaves and stems are covered in tiny hollow needle like projections that shoot a formic acid like substance into the skin on contact. Burns worse than fire-ants. Nasty. Comes from Russia. Brought over by Russian immigrants to feed hogs; it doesn’t seem to bother hogs at all.
We need to plant this HogWeed thickly along our southern border.
My favorite is the Emerald Ash Borer, thanks China.
Crush ‘em into powder!
Where did it come from?
You sure is it isn’t Hoggweed that spread out of Florida?
The title would be more accurate by saying “can cause.” How is hogweed any different than pokeweed? With some plants, you need to avoid the sap. Avoid the sap of the hogweed or pokeweed (and the juice of its berries) and you’re fine.
I’ll donate to your cause. Have those friggen stink bugs here in Western PA. They have no natural predator and a pain in the ass. They get into everything.
I read that book fifty five years ago!
I’m no botanist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this “hogweed” is another example of God having a sense of humor; it probably holds the cure for cancer or mitigates some other nasty disease/condition.
Casting our “pearls” before swine indeed.

That stuff grows everywhere that the surface soil remains constantly wet.
We chop that crap up with machetes when doing topographic surveys in spring fed landslides. never have seen anyone harmed by it though.
It stinks bigtime!

It cures Trump Derrangement Syndrome!

We had stuff with yellow flowers called wild parsnip (according to my dad) who would get blisters from it. He warned us kids away from it. I wonder if it is similar. Used to see it all the time where I grew up in east-central Indiana, not so much up here on the Michigan state line.
