Lesser version of the parsnip Queens Anne's lace can burn you too, just don't put out as much juice.. I was told that it's the juice actually causing a chemical burn which is photo reactive. In other words sunlight reacts with the juice and you get chemical burn on your skin. So it's not like a poison ivy deal where your body actually physically react to the oil from the plant.. I remember there was a big deal made about wild parsnip some years back.. Kinda like the purple loosestrife flash in the pan got quickly forgotten.... Maybe some them mountain biker kids riding the trails need to get into some for someone to get excited again.. Give bunch of them string trimmers to clear it out wearing shorts and flip flops.. Might loose a few but could use the old if it save one child thing on them..Be a big campaign get rid of it then I bet..

It really turned brown here starting ~couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure it has the potent effect on skin once it has gotten to that point of the year.
A farmer near town bailed his ditch. I was surprised. I read that cattle can probably handle it, but it's not necessarily advisable to let them them eat it in mass quantity. Maybe if a farmer doesn't give the bail to cattle for awhile, the wild parsnip loses its potency.

I've been actively eradicaticating the wild parsnip on mine and the neighbors property this month. Brush grade Roundup is what I use. I sure hate that invasive.

If ya spray or mow it, ya want to do it at the right time of year. ive heard mowing doesnt get rid of it, either has to be pulled by the roots or sprayed. if you do get it on you just keep it covered and dont let the sunlight reach it and you shoud be ok. its the reaction with the sunlight that causes it to effect you

I am not seeing nearly as much of it this year. I think the county and townships got out and mowed at the correct time on the roads I have been on , I have also been on fewer roads this year.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
