PeakOil 352 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 The recent floods shifted loads of giant hogweed and himalayan balsam from the riverbanks. Apparently hogweed sap could blind you if it gets in your eyes!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MUDD 374 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Tell me about it !! When I was in my teens I was taking a walk in the summer time along a local river and my terrier disapeared underground in a hole I didn't know off at the time. Ran and got a spade at a nearby farmhouse and lay listening on the hogweed and stuff in my tshirt for a few minutes. Rescued the dog and thought nothing more about it until I got home. That night I began to itch then the next day burn, so bad I ended up in hospital with severe burns to my arms. Still have the scars to prove it. I tell my mates to avoid it when we're out and show them what it done to my arms and for some reason I get the impression they didnt believe me ? Dangerous stuff, I think it's the hairs on it cause the damage if I'm correct. Edited July 5, 2012 by MUDD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
