What you need to know about poison hemlock

If you are headed outdoors you need to be on the lookout for this deadly plant.

Looks like queen ann's lace!

[@ryanw9051]

This looks like the black licorice flavored plants I used to chew on when I was a kid when I played up in the hills.

[@bruce5799]

I had weeds like this in my garden year after year and i see the same weeds growing along any roadside each spring and summer

[@michalgt7203]

I just chopped down a bunch of these down with a huge knife. I didn't know oops . Had a little bit of lung issues. But it cleared up

[@user-zu1sz9tt9v]

Hey I'm Caroline from S.A do we have this hemlock poison in S.A?

[@MPRasta104]

Um, that's pretty toxic advice, seeing as how eating will kill you...

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

Aren't these the plants with the stickers that grow by the millions? Tiny,brown in clusters.

[@cross-eyedkitty7025]

Was wondering the same thing, because I pull those up with my bare hands all the time

[@brianlanders8028]

@@cross-eyedkitty7025 : No, those are either burdock or cockelburs, they aren't that toxic, but you should definitely wear gloves when pulling them, because their stems are purple splotchy to, but water hemlock will definitely make you extremely sick or even kill you.

[@artkyger3425]

Pretty scary stuff

[@zdravkok878]

Lol I swear I've given those my mom as a gift

[@TheAncientOneYT]

You're thinking of Baby's-breath which looks similar

[@brianlanders8028]

I hope she's still alive, if so, you didn't give her water hemlock. It was wild carrot or something else.

[@laylachanel.fitness]

I’m just sad that it’s regarded as a weed instead of a flower 🙁

[@Miauzerz]

Its an ugly flower thats what it is

[@ModestMang]

Humans are weeds.

[@brianlanders8028]

It's a flowering weed, there.

[@44ryang90]

It's a deadly weed to everything that breathes!

[@brianlanders8028]

If anyone has any questions about poison hemlock after that demonstration, maybe you should stay out of the woods.

[@catrodriguez3348]

Man it's not poisonous...it is used por healing cuts..

[@lukeh151]

Are you sure about that…

[@Goremachine]

If you rubbed poison hemlock into a cut you'd probably die. It's one of the most poisonous plants in existence. Maybe you're thinking of a hemlock tree?

[@mothtree7730]

You might be thinking of yarrow, it looks similar but has more feathered leaves

[@brianlanders8028]

Go ahead and make a video of it from beginning to end☠️. It was definitely something else.

[@johncarter1150]

FAFO AO!

[@Arbear64]

LocaL WEED DEPARTMENT??`Where would someone live to need a weed department?? Other than Beverly Hills maybe.

[@TheAncientOneYT]

Called my local weed department, now I am just stoned and eating all day. Did nothing about my thistle and milkweed in my yard.

[@scallopohare9431]

More likely in rural, agrarian areas, where thistle and other noxious weeds are a real problem.
