@@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.

This is so frightening. I used to pull up queen Ann's lace all the time. For bouquet or just to play with it. I didn't know of poison hemlock. 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!

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.

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

Consider how butterflies depend on milkweed for their existence and how some animals can be considered natural enemies.

Thanks great info to know. Here in our area of West Texas, we have one bad plant called Death Cama. During it's early growth, looks like a long green onion. 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 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!

I posted on your last video on: "currents" and I thought this one would be about Hemlock. I forgot about Water Hemlock. The Hemlock in this area of Oklahoma, grows like a white carpet!!! It is spreading all over Texas, and Oklahoma. The ranchers can't cut it back fast enough. If this was not You Tube, I would post some photos of 20 acres of nothing but, poison Hemlock. But, No photos allowed!!! (🦄 Here is a nice Unicorn!!! Isn't that lovely...) Thank You, for your work and the tips on foraging for medicineal plants. I have a full set of "Roy Tory Peterson's" field guides on almost everthing from plants, rocks, birds, snakes, etc. And it has two giant books of color plates. The collection was $4400.00 as they are all signed with signature cards. The field guides are soft leather and will fit in a small backpack. Peterson was trained by; "John J. Audubon." I use the books for reference even though today, apps are available for matching any plant, rock, or tree with a simple cell phone photo. I would rather look them up in a book. I am old!!!👴 So, stay away from Hemlock, it is bad news!!! Brother James OSB

When I was very young, maybe 4 or 5, I remember this exact plant I tried to grab the stem and pick the white umbrella flowers.....the skin on my palm ripped off....it literally cut my hand from me grabbing it and pulling. The stem was hollow and woody and would not snap in half. As my hand slid up the stem trying to pull it, it stung and hurt. This memory is something Ive never forgotten, this video helped me identify what it was.

Lots of Native tribes would coat their arrow tips in water hemlock paste. If they'd just lay a scratch on their target it would mean certain death. They'd only use the paste on arrows in battle and not on hunts because it could poison the meat. Deadly stuff and it's everywhere folks. Good video

I don’t know if I have encountered this plant before because it looks so harmless, who would pay it any attention! I have gotten rashes before and don’t know what I brushed up against. We have poison ivy in the area, which no matter how hard I try, I can’t distinguish it from other harmless weeds.

Poison hemlock grows literally everywhere here in SW Missouri and my yard, fence rows, ditches, the edges of fields, everywhere has this growing thickly. I haven't looked closely to see if it's water hemlock but MDC says we have it as well. I mow it, walk through it in shorts, barefoot, pull them up bare handed whenever the ground is soft enough (often they will break off in my hand),, and when I first moved to this property, not knowing what it was, I chewed a leaf to see how it tasted, but since it wasn't tasty I just spit it out. I have never ever had any type of reaction from it. I'm not saying it's not deadly poison, just that here it's inescapable and no one yet has died from it. Very small towns here and farming area so we'd definitely know about it if it did happen. The ditches are often brushhogged a few times during the warm months, too.

Great video! You should make a video on horse chestnuts, not nearly as deadly, but good lesson. I gathered several 5 gallon buckets of chestnuts from an abandoned homestead under this massive tree. I had never heard of horse chestnuts before. I then roasted some and tried them, to my shame I even gave one to my wife. They were incredibly bitter. Sensing something was wrong I did some research and found that they were a poison variety, call horse chestnut. Luckily for us, they tasted terrible. We ate so little there was no ill effects, but a great lesson in really knowing what you are doing before putting it in your mouth. On the good news side, they make a great laundry detergent that works well even in front load washers, though you have to refrigerate it so I recommend making only small batches. A single 5 gallon bucket would make over 6 months of laundry detergent at my usage levels.
