Damn, nature. You scary.

[QuickNDirty]

Y'all folks up North ever come in contact with these bastards?

That’s a nasty ass plant

 

[mdmp5]

No, God left that shit down south to punish the southerners for slavery

 

[Spblademaker]

Not as of yet.

 

[Badfinger]

Yes, we have them and leave them alone!!!!! I've never heard of anyone getting hurt by that plant.

I thought that was what Kudzu was for.

They look a lot like what we used to call chigger weed, but that wouldnt blister you. Actually Id like to find some. Theres a guy been fucking with me and Id love to spill a little somewhere he cant help but get into it.

A lot of people mistake Queen Anne's Lace for Hogweed. But Lace doesn't blume until late August.

You could sprinkle a little of that in his boxer briefs

Or fire ants.

Or fire ants.

I got covered in fire ants about 11 years ago. Let’s just say I found out why they call them fire ants

We have cow parsnip here and if giant hogweed is worse I'd be dowsing the entire area in gasoline and lighting it up. A couple times I have inadvertently gotten cow parsnip on my skin then been out in the sun...what follows is a week or more of horrific itching and blisters followed by shedding the affected skin.

Yeah, apparently there's a lot of shit out there that makes your skin really sensitive to light. Here I was thinking bull nettle was the king of bad shit, but hell... Seeing some of the damage that hogweed stuff does, bull nettle ain't even all that bad.

I dunno about burning that stuff down, though. Does inhaling the vapor from the sap burning pose a risk of a systemic reaction? That'd be bad...

I think they should seed DC with it everywhere. Trump flys in and out so no problem for him.

 

[MtnCreek]

I don't know about that stuff, but if you inhale the smoke from poison ivy or poison oak you're in trouble.

Hey Maggot here's the chigger weed you were looking for.
