A wild poisonous weed has started to spread quickly throughout Iowa and the Midwest. Parsnip is becoming increasingly prevalent in road side ditches and along trails.
Coming into contact with the oils in this plant can cause severe burning and itching. This is due to the sap in the plant that once exposed to sunlight, starts to break down skin and tissue. This leads to severe sunburn and hypersensitivity.
