beware parsnips
Kate Morgan wrote:
My daughter let some of her last years parsnips go to seed and they were in her opinion very attractive plants. Yesterday she decided she needed the room and so pulled them up. A passer by told her that in that state they were very dangerous and could cause health problems, [...] I noticed several blisters on my hands and wrists about a day after hacking down my parsnip foliage. The blisters did not itch and eventually went away. They left pale brown scars, of which I can still find one or two if I look carefully. That's about three years later. Of course, it _may_ have been caused by something else. I don't recall any reaction to any other plant I've handled. Cheers Edwin Bath. ----- |
