Understanding Poison Hemlock

Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) is a highly toxic invasive plant that can cause serious harm to humans, pets, and wildlife if ingested. It's a biennial plant that can grow up to 10 feet tall, with fern-like leaves and small white flowers. Poison hemlock can quickly spread through seeds, water, and soil, making it a significant threat to our local ecosystem.

Risks Associated with Poison Hemlock

If you have poison hemlock on your property, it's essential to take immediate action to remove it. The plant's toxic compounds, including coniine and gamma-coniceine, can cause:

Neurological symptoms, such as numbness, weakness, and paralysis
Respiratory failure
Cardiac arrest
Death
