..I should ask my mom if poison ivy affects her. pretty sure it does, though, and my allergies are worse. maybe I'm first in the line. too bad I don't have a kid to find out.

I remember at some summer jobs way back as a teen that I would literally sit in patches of poison ivy at times to eat lunch, because I didn't care to check and just found a spot in the ditch that looked comfy

now, wild parsnip blisters after getting sap on you and not cleaning it before exposure to sunlight... that shit is gross

I've heard people with Native American ancestry tend to have immunity to poison ivy, but I'm not sure if that's backed by science.

Also, if you got burned by wild parsnip... that was hemlock, a poisonous lookalike...

oh, no, it was definitely parsnip. it's a big issue in Ontario

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting, I've never heard that. Is that the same plant as wild carrot/Queen Anne's Lace?

I'm not exactly a botanist but as I understand it, hogweed / Queen Anne's Lace / hemlock are all similar plants, and parsnip is a less similar plant

I don't know if other colours are possible, but one differentiating feature I am aware of is that parsnip has yellow flowers and all the others have white. and only Queen Anne's Lace is not harmful

but yeah they all generally look very similar

also I just want to point out that do I ever love having a provincial website with resources like this

That's interesting, I did not know wild parsnip was a separate plant. We must not have that where I'm from.

And yeah, clearly Ontario is doing something right

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

yeah, and I had forgotten that it was actually invasive

apparently hogweed has been a growing issue for the past decade around here, but I can't say that I've ever noticed any myself. parsnip, on the other hand, practically lines our ditches to the point that I would consider it an actual safety concern for the general public since most people don't know that you can have severe reactions to the sap. like we're talking a ditch just completely filled with an 8-ft wide section the whole length right next to a multi-use path. obviously not every ditch, but more common than not it seems
