Just a be aware post. For the umpteenth year i've been Hoggyd. First few times were rather nasty burns and i had to wear a long sleeve shirt all summer Rolling Eyes
The plant is called Giant cow parsley or giant hogweed. Any contact with its sap however minute will cause a chemical burn to the skin which gets worse in sunlight.
Do a wiki search for more info.

Turn and run!
Nothing can stop them,
Around every river and canal their power is growing.
Stamp them out!
We must destroy them,
They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour.

They are invincible,
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering.

Long ago in the russian hills,
A victorian explorer found the regal hogweed by a marsh,
He captured it and brought it home.
Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
Royal beast did not forget.
He came home to london,
And made a present of the hogweed to the royal gardens at kew.

Waste no time!
They are approaching.
Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter
Strike by night!
They are defenceless.
They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom.

Still theyre invincible,
Still theyre immune to all our herbicidal battering.

Fashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens,
In which they innocently planted the giant hogweed throughout the land.
Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
Royal beast did not forget.
Soon they escaped, spreading their seed,
Preparing for an onslaught, threatening the human race.

The dance of the giant hogweed

Mighty hogweed is avenged.
Human bodies soon will know our anger.
Kill them with your hogweed hairs
Heracleum mantegazziani

Giant hogweed lives


Can't beat a good phytophototoxin...

What do you do for a living Howling?

I mean I have been warned about them as a kid, and was just careful around them and have yet to be got. *touch wood* (but please don't touch my wood).

I think you can ring the council and someone unfortunate person is sent out to 'remove' it.
