It would be a great subject to learn.

It was in my highschool but I was to busy getting high to pay attention... One of my many regrets.

They do in many schools, but a 16 year old cares more about awkward relationships.

Instead of woke bs.

@@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.

Don't live in fear. Educate yourself.

The plant oils cause burns when exposed to the sun.

@healthyfitmom I picked this plant as a child also, never ate any, but just like you I thought oh pretty flowers... I see it all over in the state I live in.

NGL I totally thought this was queen Anne's lace. I've only bought it dries and I wouldn't have known better

Yes i thought it was queens annes lace was the same poisonous plant. I didnt know hemlock was different plant altogether.

Most of the poison is in the stem.

Hey not correcting ya to be a d*ck. I just figure you may appreciate knowing is all so you don't get someone who actually gets all egotistical about it at you sometime. 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! A lot of us hear 'aired' as kids and just get kinda stuck in the misunderstood hearing of it. Much like any 'egg corn' word.

erred. i'm fun at parties

Queens Ann lace grows shorter The plant talked about here can get about 5,, feet tall at times. I used to see it allot. My brother and I used to hike all the time and I remember seeing this plant growing. 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. We were always loafing around in the woods by ourselves. I don't think that our family knew about this plant either.

One thing he failed to mention is that the Queen Anne's Lace inflorescence is more compact and always has one tiny dark purple floret in the center.

@@notmyworld44 Yes it usually has a dark spot in the centre of the umbel but in my experience not always. It always has - as well as the hairy legs - little fronds that look almost like another green flower stuck on the underside of the umbel.

@@earthsmoke9450 Thank you for that. 🙂👍

@@notmyworld44 No probs friend. All the best to you!

Wow, that is a rough experience to go through.

@@HealthAndHomestead Yup. Doesn’t get much rougher than death.

Kay, that is like something out of a nightmare... l know some hikers... Dont know if they know....l see this weed by creek where l live.... Don't know if peop!e are aware there are things that are just deadly....it doesn't have to be a rattlesnake...

I don’t buy it. Like emergency rescue saying opioid can be transmitted via skin contact. When really it’s misinformation Where the only reason for response is panic attacks

He probably did more than rub his legs against it or he was extra sensitive... Most people can handle or touch it without ill effects.

NEVER nibble something to "test" it! Purchase a book with photographs of poisonous plants, so you can SEE what they look like. If you are not absolutely sure it is safe to eat, don't touch it, just pass it by.

Maybe, next time, just take a spray bottle of Round-Up with you and kill the weed. That method is faster and more reliable then reporting it ANY parks department. If you spray it, it won't seed anymore and it just withers away. Forever.

Be careful using the Roundup itself

Thank you Macnuth for your knowledge of activated charcoal cheers

Baking soda right away safest for bee stings

Smokeless Tobacco is best thing I've found for bee/wasp stings. Just my 2 cents

This planet about to BURN AND die. You all focusing on minor. Get right with God and make sure we have food and water...stop stupidity. This is minor. Gas prices rising and food shortages Our government wild Too much going on for this IGNORANT video. You can tell he is biblically BLIND

@@averagenobody6577 Actual smoking tobacco works too. I knew a guy who got stung quite often while surveying properties. He smoked, so he always had cigs with him. He'd break off a piece of the end of a fresh cig, spit on it if water wasn't available to dampen it, and apply it to the sting. Said it worked like a charm.

You are welcome. We had fun making this video. It is amazing how it is all over North America.

Another way to compare wild carrot vs hemlock is to look at the flowers. Water hemlock flower branch out into clusters, but carrots have a single large bunch. Another difference in the flowers is that the wild carrot have a single purple flower in the middle of the bunch of white flowers.

@@ringofasho7721 Thank you for sharing this added information

@SHAK3 N I was just not aware of it and being a novice to look alike poisonous plants it was amazing how easily it could be mistaken for the other. It was good to learn about!

@SHAK3 N it's been around and well known for hundreds of years. The new foraging spike is what I attribute poisonings to. People research edible plants online and have no real world experience

Uh, if your wrong and it is hemlock, touching it and you are poisoned!

No, poison hemlock (assuming water hemlock as well) have a carrot smell in their roots. And the dark purple flower is not always there. The best way to identify wild carrot is through the hairy and pithy stems.

Spurge is fairly attractive. I let some go in my yard. After a couple of years it was taking over. Hubby pulled it and I carried it to the back of the yard, where we replanted it along the fence. I got a big rash, then did some reading, which says don’t get its latex juice on your skin. 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.

For sure. Great for hikes and traveling in any situation. We take it nearly everywhere we go. Blessings.

Is there anything that helps against irritation / immune response for sensitive skin / eyes?

​@@marcus8710A spacesuit.

You are welcome. It was enjoyable to put together.

you could just buy a big 1/2 gallon carton of it from a pet supply place. it is used to polish aquarium water as it ADSORBS heavy metals into its atomic nooks and crannies.

Smart.

@SHAK3 N lol I haven’t bought anything except the like and subscribe button- I don’t care what he makes from YT but I learn something that ENRICHES my life so I really don’t care!

Holy crap

Looks so much alike, Baby’s breath in bouquets look just like this? Wow.

be careful. there are a couple of others which look very similar

No, schools are NOT doing that…..

@@choccolocco yes they are...appalling things across the country.

@@terrirobinson2935 They are absolutely not. That’s a fact. You’re just parroting what certain ppl with an agenda are telling you. As someone very familiar with the education system, I know. And what you claim, again, is not true.

@@choccolocco you a teacher?

@@boondocks8002 No, but I am quite familiar with the education system. If by chance you want to bicker, look in to how private schools don’t have to report(make public), like pub ed, nor have to abide by the same standards. If not, sorry……but no, I am not.

This is probably the least dangerous plant on Australia lol

I can't imagine how horrible that must've been!

Wow that is tough.

Thank you for the warning, from Kamloops.

Also, it grows in pretty much all of North America. Also, it doesn't bloom in winter. Also my name is Moist. Also, I like sheep. Also saying also a lot also adds to the benefits of writing also.

@@moist5717 🤣

Water Hemlocks generally prefer wet locations across North America, Europe, and Asia. Water Hemlock isn't one plant but a collection of related plants that comprise the Cicuta genus. All Water Hemlocks are extremely poisonous and contain cicutoxin.

Are you sure it is hemlock, purplish smooth stems? I have similar plants on my property, but not hemlock. Hubby happened to ask about it a few weeks ago and we walked around our property and I pointed out the difference so he would know. I have also urged him to always have work gloves with him and not touch any plant with bare hands.

@@TheWirdbird I have similar plants and cut them back and poured boiling water on the stumps. Then I poured some vinegar on. They are coming back now, three months later but I plan to repeat the process. If you whack them a couple of times the roots die. Here I was worried that it was the Chinese strain, which can grow about seven feet tall and has eight foot deep roots, and is toxic. Now after this video, I know they are “ just” water hemlock. Bye, bye, water hemlock.

Maybe salt,and vinegar.

I agee

...not sure if it works on this, but I've killed quite a few plants with fermented urine. 👍😲🤗 )0(

Yarrow looks similar but is good for circulation. I add yarrow tea to my morning coffee.

The reason you can't find good medicine in stores is because they profit more off sick people.

Wild carrot (Daucus carota) stems are hairy, water hemlock, and hemlock isn’t. Wild carrot also known as Bird’s nest, Bishop’s lace Queen Anne’s lace in North America. Daucus carota also has a very small dark center. It’s also used to colour butter, which apparently they think is necessary, I don’t.

Interesting 🤔

Is it in Wasilla wooded areas?

How about this for a concept... Your fear of it comes from one of your past lives because your memory wasn't completely reset. You're having minor but direct subconscious recollections from a past life that you've lived. Check out divinity and quantum physics. They do correlate with one another. On a microscopic level, all things are made of atoms...atoms are made of smaller thing's...nucleus, etc. All of these things are made of energy and vibrate continuously. Energy never dies, it only disperses. Therefore when you die, you don't truly die, your energy is just dispersed into the universe. The circle is the most divine shape in the whole universe. From atoms and cells to planets and suns, they're circles (or spheres depending on your 2d or 3d viewpoint.) A circle is continuous. It has no beginning, no end. Would it not make sense then that our life cycle is just that? A circular cycle? Just as the cycles of the moon, the seasons of the earth, the paths of the planets. We are born, live, die, have a resting phase and then are born again? Check it out. I've been learning about it for years and will be for years to come. People have discussed these theories and based entire religions on them. From scientists\physicists and astronomers, to mathematicians and doctors. They were not and are not all atheists\agnostics...and they don't all believe in Abrahamic Religions...so what did they and do they believe in? Check out: The Golden Dawn

No, it's because you're a witch.

Maybe some people inherently recognize danger for other reasons. Maybe she feels the plant's energy and its a bad energy.

@@YouDontKnowAsMuchAsYouThinkUDo Let me get those shrooms bro

Or maybe some animals just have a natural inclination to want to avoid certain affects of the environment? A genetic disposition leading to a fear of a specific arrangement of flowers. Consider how butterflies depend on milkweed for their existence and how some animals can be considered natural enemies.

Good thing you did look it up. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes - same here only in the Mat-Su valley- it burns like crazy.

Thank you. I use Final Cut Pro and use some of the add one by Motion VFX for graphics.

It is good to have.

ya, I wont even touch real "wild carrot" which is NOTHING like a carrot. Gag.

What does carrot smell like? It's got no smell.

@@cynthiagonzalez658 Go to the grocery store and buy carrots with the tops on. Crush the tops and smell them. If you can't smell them, you probably can't smell a lot of other things.

@@darkwood777 Sorry, no such things as carrots with tops on around here!!

Please don't burn it!!! My neighbor almost died from someone burning poison ivy. I sure would not want to inhale hemlock particles. Kind regards, please be safe!

Yeah, it can cause crazy burns and sensitivity to sunlight

Yes. I saw Queen Anne’s Lace within walking distance to the water hemlock.

Is it called "water" hemlock because it likes watery locations, or...?

I did the same thing! Have a horse chestnut tree in my front yard. Thought it was real chestnut. Now I know better. I guess there are zero chestnut trees around here, I’m in Vermont.
