Thanks for the info. I have tons of this growing on the side of my house. I sometimes cut the flowers and put in on my table because it looks so good. Learned something new.
Yes, these plants are in the carrot and parsley family. Apparently the oil in giant hogweed can cause long-lasting burns and scars. It can even blind you if rubbed in the eyes.
I will send you a pic in the spring when they come up. I've always thought the flower to be beautiful .
damn you know i have definitaly seen these plants before and never knew they where poisonous lol
Florida has some seriously poisonous plants, including 2 rare poisonous trees (poisonwood & manchineel)! Get to know castor as well, the big spiky leaves make it easy to identify also.
Thanks - good information. I don't know what would scare me more the alligator croaking or the giant patch of Hemlock! I'm in the midwest - no gators here.
Believe it or not, you get used to the alligators. Thanks for watching!
Sepp you are the man! I can always count on you. I will be watching your channel starting with your very first videos for the next couple of days. Cheers.
You've got a guide man! Thanks for viewing Thor. I want to see another primitive torch!
Fantastic ID tip. Thank you!
Interesting! The insects certainly love the flowers. Not sure I would enjoy that honey...
The upbeat music adds so much to this! 😛
Very informative and nice video quality to boot. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, we have this on the other side of the state and I had no idea. Thanks!
Important stuff Bill, very cool, good to see a new video from you and you, my friend(s). Happy Holidays, Sepp
Thank you for the Lesson!!! ❤️
We appreciate your viewing! Stay safe out there...
Yeah man! Awesome! Next time in the woods I'll try another torch!
Hiked next to a river and marshy area yesterday, must have got some of this crap on my hands and then rubbed my eyes, cuz I almost lost my sight in one eye, I was in excruciating pain, had to rush to see a Doctor it was so intense, didn’t realize what danger I was in being there,...better now but I ain’t going back again.
I wish I found this earlier instead of spending an hour researching to figure out that the weird plant in my yard is water hemlock 😭
thanks for the valuable information,,,,good to know....love the alligator croak too....here that all the time!!
Hike with Mike Thanks for tuning in. I love that croak... For predators, alligators have better manners than most humans!
Fun fact: The Chippewa/Ojibwe mixed cicuta seeds with their tobacco and smoked them.

How did it not kill them?
I've identified this plant off the shore of a local lake. It indeed has hollow chambered roots with orange oil inside and smells just like carrots.
Thanks, found loads on my husband's parents farm.
wow - I stopped at the ocean at Crystal City CA and got lost -ended up in a swamp that was full of these plants - they need to post warnings perhaps?
Beautiful but deadly.
Are the main stalks smooth or does it have grooves,? Cow parsley looks similar
Grooves, very celery-like.
@@hiddenflorida Thanks, because I know that the one called poison hemlock is smooth with red blotches on the stem.
Are you sure that aint Ground elder? I thought water hemlock had mor pointy leaves, but than again i have never seen the plant.
They have similar appearances, definitely. The habitat is wrong for ground elder, though, and its stems are hollow and grooved with a triangular profile. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Agreed, I'm not in a position where I have to gamble on poison plants. I can only imagine what that stuff would put you through if you ate it.
Simple answer- death. This stuff is lethal!
I would double check with your local native plant society. The charts I have seen show it all across The U.S. and Canada. Best bet: avoid any plant with umbels.
Home surgery? You are tough man. Thanks for the kind words and views.
Wow! Could you send a picture? It could possibly be elderberry instead.
Symptoms (usually seizures) can occur in as little as 15 minutes, and death can follow within 24-48 hours.
Looks like you're stomping around the GVille/Ocala area! :-)
Zan Man We love Ocala, there are so many amazing springs there.
If you touch this plant make damn sure you don't touch your mouth, eyes, nose or have any cuts or sores. And damn it wash your hands after or you'll be SORRY!
I Identify this plant by the tiny satellite flowers that grow out around each of the little flower heads, They are hard to see but you can barely see them at 1:47.
it's pretty! Just don't eat anything from the wild.
Even touch
Imagine accidentally picking those flowers
i read somewhere children where using the stems for spitballs i believe and they died probably a horrible death to very tragic
I got a hug rash from one of those
can i find this stuff in texas?? sorry i dont know much about it
Yes, was recently on the news that it is at White Rock Lake near Dallas. They are spraying it.
Oh man, alligators and deadly plants... I'd bring a guide if I were to wander out into wild Florida! Good video! Just glad that plant doesn't exist here in Sweden!
We have it in NYS
The scary fact is, there are deadly plants in every state. It pays to learn them, and never forage for wild plants unless accompanied by an expert.
I cut them every year with my tractor on my land.
the Seminoles used Water Hemlock as a topical with the water of boiled Hemlock poured over areas that suffer from Rhuemtoid A.( how ever you spell that)
of course you pretty much have to be Indian to know those things
Interesting! I also read that native Floridians used to smoke the seeds... Not recommended :(

Nice work! That whole family is best avoided. Look for an umbel, move on.
It does bad stuff to you and can kill you
