Thank you Woodrow. This is helpful. Something as dangerous as this can't be discussed too often. I've never heard of it or maybe in my area it is called something else. I definitely will be on the look out.
Thank you NK for posting this....apparently it is in my area and I will be on the lookout for it. Our property backs up to farmland and stuff "blows" off of the crops and onto neighboring yards. I'm constantly finding stuff that I don't know what it is - and every time I mow and weed I'm also hoeing and chopping something or other. Haven't seen anything quite like this - but if I do - I'm gonna suit up and its' outta here!!!!
Can someone please post the plant's actual name? Thank you!
