Sorry - I do know how to detox Giant Hogweed.

This is clearly not the reply you want, but this plant is an invasive
and dangerous alien and should be eliminated. Please report it to
your local council and/or wildlife trust. Try http://www.swt.org.uk/

Given the extent of the cuts Midlothian Council have made in their
environment budget, they are about as likely to attack it as start
their own space programme.

People like me with a use for it are a better bet for getting it
under control right now. I've only seen about 20 plants in the
parts of the county I pass through regularly and I can make a fair
dent in that total single-handed.
