beware parsnips
In article , "Mike....." writes: | | Secondly, parsnips are normally harvested in winter, when | there isn't any sun in the UK to notice (for most people). | | So the word "probably" is wrong. | | nope, you will probably get burns under the conditions I specified, I said | "in the sun" and I meant "in the sun" theres no need to qualify with | "winter". (If you have never known a bright winters day I dont know where | you live but it can't be UK or do you just like trying to put peope down | who are providing info you were ignorant of?). Sigh. I said what I meant and I meant what I said. Photosensitivity (like sunburn) is a function of the ultraviolet, and the level of that even on a bright winter's day in the south of England is EXTREMELY low and, except on a few exceptional days, effectively nil. Look it up. Also, you should ignore most Web nonsense that says that everyone is equally sensitive (or even sensitive) to various plants - that is not true even for giant hogweed, rue and Euphorbia. Again, look that up in scientific papers, not stuff written for the hoi polloi. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
