Add Your Opinion About This Plant
Coming into contact with the sap of giant hogweed, followed by exposure to sunlight, can produce painful, burning blisters, also known as photo-dermatitis. Hogweed stems contain a large amount of juice that squirts out when stems are broken or cut.
Contact with the eyes can cause temporary and possibly permanent blindness. One plant can produce up to 100,000 seeds in one growing season. I like this opinion 1 person likes this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead. |
