Today I learned about a scary-ass plant thats all over the lower mainland. Its called Giant Hogweed and its sap will make your skin ALLERGIC TO SUNLIGHT! Kinda serious, no? Heres a Wikipedia quote: Its sap can cause phytophotodermatitis (severe skin inflammations) when the skin is exposed to sunlight or to ultraviolet rays. Initially, the skin colours red and starts itching. Then blisters form as it burns within 48 hours. They form black or purplish scars that can last several years.
