I saw/read where this plant (sap) created 3rd degree burns on a young man from Virginia. He was a landscape worker that ran into a monster HOG WEED plant. I wish I could have posted a link but you can google this up. Please check out the pics of this plant and see if you have this growing on your property. Don't attempt to chop it down as the article said to use one of two pesticides. The pics of what this plant can do to people and animals are terrible.

I survived the stuff above. Took two months for my hands to heal where I grabbed a handful trying to hold position in current, even though I was wearing sun gloves. Didn't know a thing about it until afterwards.
