    Due to the recent horrible wet weather, this nasty plant is gaining ground rapidly!

    It can leave nasty burns when touched or broken..Giant Hogweed is a public health hazard as the toxins in the sap react
    with sunlight/UV ray causing the skin to blister and severe scarring.

    It's especially prevalent along railway embankments.
