I dont understand the chemical. How people work with almost every part of the plant and it doesnt give them blisters? It seems to not effect some people?
Hi Jason - I'm not sure! I also wonder if there are certain stages of the plant's growth where it produces more or less of the chemical. I'll do some more research!
Hello! Here is what I found! Go down and read the 'toxicity' section! Apparently it is dangerous. 🌿 Cow Parsnip: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_maximum It's directly related to: 🌿 Giant Hogweed: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_mantegazzianum Be careful! Have a Peaceful day 🙂
@@padkirsch hi, thanks. Common hogweed is another name for cow parsnip. It's true it has toxicity when the sap gets on the skin. Not as much as giant hogweed though.
Hey people, be very careful using it as a bug repellent. Due to distant (more harmful) relatives with similar flowers and leaves a misidentification can be harmful!
Don't take the warning about the sap lightly. I still bear the scars 15 years on, from weedwacking a large patch of these, shirt off and on a sunny day - it was not pretty !
Wow, so informative...thank you Brit!
You are welcome! Glad you are enjoying!
Thank you for this! I'm trying to find out more about members of the carrot family!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
yes and by Alaskan aboriginals . thank you for sharing. we call it wild celery . I'm from the lingit nation
Thank you for the info and I'm so glad you like the videos!
I thought this was that hogweed! Good to know.
We call it common hogweed in England or cow parsnip
Very helpful!
Attractive plant and human. Is it cow slip or cows lip? I did not know it repels bugs. Informative, : )

Hi, how do you know it's not giant hogweed? Cos the umbels and leaves are huge, and saw a bit of blotchiness on the leave stem?

Also very interesting read. Look how similar they look

Looks like you two found some good info here! Thanks so much for watching!
It seems like giant hogweed. these has purple spots on the stam.
Yes you are right that it does look like a miniature version of it. They are very closely related!

Yes, you are right! I would not try it myself as misidentification is real!
