Yup!! I’m still trying to figure out how I got mine.
do you mean on your property or your person?
Better get that looked at might be an std
@mrpotatohead and hisfantastic eyebrows lmao dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Phytophoto dermatitis is NOT an STI! BTW your showing your lack of education by using STD. They are called sexually transmitted infections.
@IthinkthereforeIam OrsoIthought yard! & exactly which plant caused it that I came in contact with
I feel bad for him. But it’s not new it’s been in the news for years
I swear the news was saying it’s okay to eat wild parsnip just a couple weeks ago..
If you cook it, you can. Handling it is the tricky part.
Did they say eat it raw?
@Don Greek Don’t do that. edit, 1st yr tuber can be eaten raw but without experience it is highly inadvisable.
I rather get Covid!
You do? Or you _would_ ?
we have some plants like this on Vancouver Island. It might look harmless but will do worse than this. you need to respect nature because it doesn’t respect you
I really didn’t know about it if I had not watched it
It’s somehow unbelievable!!… Parsnips????
That’s why youtube is here…. To educate more.
I too never knew.. wow I know now.
@Sabrina Colby You can say that again. Youtube has been of great help to me
Was he playing paintball in his bathing suit?
Time to doom them and others forever
Thank you 🙏🏽 I had absolutely no idea
We should grow it along the border. Cheaper than a wall.
Negligent in inaccurate description it can grow up to 2m, toxin is photo reactive, also it can cause 3rd degree burns not just 2nd degree
A better picture would of been nice .
You can Google it
Send some to Trump.
Would be useful to know its botanic name and eradication methods. Otherwise this is just a scare story.
Google it do some of the work. LEARN!!!!. That is what John would say.
I saw many plants along 5he Highway from Sudbury to Thunder Bay in 2018. Why aren’t they destroying these plants.
Are they talking about giant hogweed?
Are you sure it was not hog weed
Wow, I had never heard of this before!
Covid wishes it could be this dangerous
