> Around these parts, cow parsnip or locally known as 'puchki' is your evil weeds' twin sister. While edible like celery when young, the sap of older plants reacts with sunlight to leave you with oozing itching sores that are slow to heal and leave scars behind for years. I speak from personal experience.

That is what I played in as a kid. Pushki weed was all over. It was the poison hemlock (similar looking) that was bad. But it seemed a few people reacted very badly to Pushki.

When it dries out it makes for great sword-fight fun.
