Giant hogweed

This toxic plant is harmful to humans, as its chemicals can cause significant wounds to the skin. While for some, it is just a burning sensation, for others, it can cause permanent scars. This is why giant hogweed is considered illegal and the fines can go up to £5,000. They can be recognised by their large white flowers and towering height.
