Giant Hogweed
Heracleum mantegazzianum
48.9233, -64.3954
Field Notes
Description:
Very large plants with umbrella shaped flowers. These plants are very toxic, as we found out the wrong way.
Habitat:
Around the campsite in a wooded area near the seashore.
Notes:
My boyfriend got caught up in these large plants as he was trying to set our tent up. We did not know what they were and did not think anything of them until we went hiking and large blisters and red burns appeared on half his arm. It's been two weeks not and there are still very apparent marks on his arm. Now that i discovered this i will send an email to the park where we were camping as this plant can cause serious dammage.
