Down on the Farm by Hans Schmitz, Purdue Extension Posey County Poisonous plants pervade Driving down the road the other day, a roadside sea of white flowers well above the roof of the truck shad- ed the road partially. Poison hemlock is now well in bloom, rounding out its biennial lifecycle. Likewise, poison ivy and wild parsnip are thriving this time of year. Meanwhile, scouts are moni- toring the state for any signs of giant hogweed. Plants exist that can kill you or your pets. Knowing how to avoid them is secondary to knowing how to eradicate them. The only native of the plants men- tioned above is poison ivy. Contact with the urushiol oil on the plant re- sults in rashes on some susceptible individuals. Burning these plants will create aerosols that can internalize the reaction resulting in breathing prob- lems that could kill. The general rule "Leaves of three, let it be" applies here, although adherents will inadvertent- ly avoid some look-alike plants, nota- bly boxelder seedlings. Control of the poison ivy plant is relatively easy. The plant is growing vigorously this time of year, and spot treatment with her- bicides works well. Control becomes more difficult later in the season, when the plant struggles a bit more amid diseases of its own. The skin re- action on poison ivy is human specific, and goats will actually munch on ivy when presented as a food source. Poi- son oak and poison sumac do exist in some spots in this area but are much less prevalent than ivy. Poison hemlock has be- come much more common in southwestern Indiana over the last decade. The plant was fa- mously used to kill Socrates many years ago as punish- ment for corrupting the youth. Hemlock exhibits a bienni- al growth pattern, meaning it produces leaves the first year and flowers and seeds the second year. For this reason, recognizing the ro- sette and controlling in year one or early year two before the white flow- ers emerge is essential. Mowing is an option for plants already in flower, but new plants will emerge and monitor- ing is important. Every part of this plant is poisonous to ingest. Addition- ally, some individuals do get a rash from contact with leaves, although that reaction is relatively rare. When observed, the more likely culprit is contact with wild parsnip, a yellow- flowered relative that causes phyto- photodermatitis, literally "plant light skin problem." Contact with the plant leaves a residue that causes chemical- like burning of skin when exposed to sunlight. For hemlock, the positive identification comes from observing purple speckling or streaking on the stem of the plant. For wild parsnip, the yellow flower arranged in an umbel on a 3 to 5 foot tall plant is fair- ly unique. Giant hogweed has not been observed in this re- gion, but northern Indi- ana and Illinois have en- countered this weed. The plant is very large, up to twenty feet tall, with large lobed leaves, stems up to four inches in di- ameter, and a large white seed head in an umbel. New York Sea Grant refers to a case of hogweed making poison ivy seem like a mild itch. To become ill from this plant, one has to come in- to contact with the sap from the stem or from crushing any other part of the plant. The affected area will be- come sensitive to UV light, and sun- light will then cause lesions and blis- ters. The affected area may be sensi- tive to sunlight for years afterward. Rubbing one's eyes after contact with sap may result in blindness. Control of this plant requires multiple herbi- cide applications due to the strength of the root system.
