  • Water hemlock is even more troubling that its relative hemlock. Through the years people have accidentally eaten it because it looks similar to wild carrot. We will look at the symptoms people suffer through when accidentally ingested. Also we will look at what researchers suggest may be a remedy to help someone who may be suffering from it.

      @@rebel1187 There should be an introduction to these plants in grade school and then a reminder every year after that.
      Growing up In NY we were constantly warned about the yew shrubs (with their gooey red berries) planted as hedges EVERYWHERE (way back when)... And, in CA the poisonous oleander trees are ubiquitous along the highways, streets, and yards.
      But I don't recall any formal teachings in the classrooms. It was the parents and teachers warning us offhandedly, and then the smart kids passed the lessons on to their less-aware friends whenever needed.
      I'm pretty sure the kid across the street saved my life a couple of times. I was always chewing on wild plants.

    When I was younger I used it as a straw. What happened is my heartbeat went over 300 according to the EMT sitting in the back of the ambulance with me. My chest started hurting. I told him and he looked very worried and said you don't want to have a heart attack until we get you to the hospital. I said man, I'm trying. Now mind you all I did is make a straw out of it and pretend I was sipping through it. Basically touched it to my lips. And handled it. Almost killed me.

A month or so ago a post on FB popped up in a gardening group about a young girl and her encounter ( just touching the plant!!!) with poison hemlock. She swelled up in hives and went into anaphylaxis and the poor young child almost died. She survived but the pictures of her where terrible. So thank you for making this video. People have to know how to spot poison plants even though they may think it is a common weed!

Its "erred" on the side of caution! Erred meaning like if you are going to make an error you prefer to lean towards one error or choice then the other. "to be especially careful rather than taking a risk or making a mistake" . Its a common error! Hope you are well!

    When hunting for native plants around a local pond, i looked up the most toxic plants beforehand to ID them. There is water hemlock in areas so i knew about it. It's a town pond with a walking trail and people fish there. I feel obligated to report this to the parks department to protect unsuspecting people. They should also post laminated charts of toxic plants so people can be educated. Many have their children with them.
    When i was a child I played in woods and fields before the housing developments and always picked something flowering to bring to my mother. I never thought anything to be so painfully crippling and fatal back then. This video made me so much more aware.

    I often carry activated charcoal and have used it for about 30 years. As a poultice it works great for any stings or bites from insects. For internal purposes, I find ginger ale best to mixt the powder for drinking. Caution, charcoal will stain clothing and carpets.
    On day adventures there have been times when I didn't have any with me and someone got stung by a bee. I made a fire to intentionally make charcoal, mashed it up and added water to make a poultice then applied it to the sting site. It removed the poison for about 15 minutes, then clean the poultice off and apply a new fresh one. It pulls the poison from the bee sting.

      We were always pulling plants off and sticking them in our mouths. Especially sassafras we knew what we were handling, but that could have been fatal.

Bentonite clay is also a good detox. A tip is that the activated charcoal can be a little hard on one's constitution, so I always follow it up with Yakult (or yogurt) to replace the good gut stuff.

The next year I just brushed against one and got a rash. The ones we moved did not survive the move, and I use gloves and pull any I see. Fortunately it is pretty easy to get rid of, even though kind of invasive If left unchecked.

    Lomatium Disectum is actually wild 🥕 carrot and IS edible. In fact it's an antiviral that saved the American Indians who called it Biscuit root, survived the pneumatic plague in early 1900s. This is so distressing to learn about.

    I just discovered wild carrot (ID’d from Picture This app) but it happens to be growing near Poison Hemlock, tall stiff stems, which I ID’d the same way. Different pictures of the wild carrot and it confirms wild carrot, but I did not know to check the stem. I didn’t know what to do about the poison hemlock, it was literally 4 feet tall and really pretty blooms, but when I was down there yesterday, it’s growing along the roadside in the country it was all dead and I wondered if maybe the county road people sprayed it or I couldn’t understand it l, and I wasn’t sure what to do about it because it’s poisonous. I didn’t wanna be handling it but I wanted to get rid of it. So I’m just very fortunate I happen to see this video and thanks so much!

    Back in the 70's, I used to use Queen of The Meadow, or Wild Carrot, for kidney infections; it worked really great, but then herbal stores stopped carrying itn and I moved to the desert. I guess maybe this is the reason it can no longer be found in stores; it's too easily confused with these deadly look-alikes.
    I had no idea this could be found in every state. Good to know.

The leaves are not round but v shaped and is quite toxic. Smells like and onion and i believe it has a bulb shaped root. I picked it once and brought it in then decided to look it up. Thank God I had an ounce of training to not sample before looking it up. Anyways, you might find a good video to do with this one. L8R

    I remember a few years back I almost ended up a statistic by mistaking water hemlock with wild mint. They smell similar. In Colorado, mint can grow big, and grows generally in the same area as water hemlock. I harvested some leaves and dried it at home and was going to make a wild mint tea. My own laziness saved me as I pushed it off until the leaves became too dusty to make a tea.
