I am sure surveyors in Michigan should be warned.
I never heard of it. In Arkansas, we have stinging nettles. But nothing like this.

Got the email newsletter from the Good Hart General Store yesterday:
"We wish everyone a very happy, and blessed Easter Sunday and we look forward to seeing you soon here in Downtown Good Hart. Just as soon as it stops snowing."
"Current Weather Conditions
We've stopped talking about the weather for obvious reasons. Whatever happens, happens at this point. That which doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger."
I've seen those plants before and avoided them like bull nettles and other thorny stingy plants and sumac that may or may not cause me to break out.
Glad I did.
Those darn Victorian explorers!
Ran into its cousin wild parsnip on an abandon construction site in the southwest chicago suburbs. About 2 days later I noticed what looked like poison ivy blisters on my forearms but they didn't itch just hurt like hell like a battery acid burn. Took about a month for the scars to heal up, Burned off my freckles too. watch out!
Looked it up; this stuff is as nasty as they say.
The woods is getting to look the oceans or Great Lakes, a real dump for all kinds of crap.

It's the other "evil weed" and it's around here...
What the locals call "wild parsnip" is widespread in west-central Vermont. It's rumored to have the same kind of bad effects as giant hogweed. " haven't been able to nail down the plant identification as well as I would like, but I've been carefully cutting it whenever I see it on my property.
