The hogweed seen in the wild is a hybrid between native hogweed and that huge species called giant hogweed. In the 70ties the non hybrid giant hogweed was often used in huge gardens as an ornamental plant because of it giant leafs and flowers. The size of that plant cannot be compared to wild or hybrid hogweed, though it is not really a beauty, it is an eyecatcher for sure. But today you almost never see these giants.

A note on the blue-ringed octopus statement: though it's technically true that nobody's tested oral consumption of blue-ringed octopus venom specifically, the active ingredient - tetrodotoxin - *has* been, and is conclusively able to kill human beings if taken orally. The same toxin is present in the famed Japanese fugu, a type of pufferfish considered a delicacy but also well-known for being potentially fatal if improperly prepared. Fugu poisoning has been responsible for dozens of deaths in Japan over the last few hundred years, though strict regulations have helped to reduce this in recent years and most deaths now are the result of preparation by amateurs.

Even PROPERLY-prepared fugu has enough tetrodotoxin in it to affect the nerves in your mouth and throat and cause numbness and tingling. And can poison you if you eat several servings of it at once.

What I find kind of hilarious is the fact that I have an autoimmune disease, but I'm immune to urushiol. I have touched many broken poison ivy plants with absolutely no effect, when you would think my overactive immune system would attack it immediately. Although I still avoid it because I've heard of people having no reaction, but after years of prolonged exposure they can develop a severe reaction (I once read this story about a man who was immune and a landscaper. He frequently pulled poison oak/ivy/sumac with his bare hands because he hated gloves. After about 12 years of repeated exposure he weeded his neighbor's property, and a few hours later developed such an intense reaction that he ended up hospitalized, and could never touch the plants again without a similar reaction happening.)

😎 Way back in the middle of the last century (when I was young) there was a saying among druggies; Anything that will kill you will get you high first. Not tempted to test the theory.

When I was in high school, I had wild parsnip, one of the "less" potent relatives of Hogweed, sprayed all over my lower legs by a lawnmower that had the grass guard missing. I mean totally coated. Nothing was done about this because no one knew there was anything dangerous along with the grass. Actually, it felt nice and cooling in the summer heat. Anyway, I developed a rash, and then it got worse. Picture those yellow bubbles completely covering someone's knees, calves, and ankles. I was in the hospital for 4 days. The PA who treated me had been a medic in Vietnam. He said he'd never seen a plant rash that bad. No one knew what the culprit was at the time, I figured it out myself years later.

Hank: That friend, you know which one I mean... Me: Yes, I'm well aware... I am that friend.

It’s amazing how our bodies can instinctively know something. That hogweed grew all over my dads property in Canada. I just always had an aversion to it, even as a child it confused me staring at them but I just left them alone. Which they are all around his house, it’s impossible to walk around them. I used to eat wild plants, which is dangerous as a child but this is one plant I stayed far away from. Thank you instincts and evolution.

You don't have to break or crush poison oak leaves to get the itchy rash; in certain circumstances (like if you're super allergic to it) just touching the leafless sticks of it can curse you with its nasty itchy rash. Also, never ever breathe in the smoke from burning poison oak....you'll end up in the hospital.

Every couple of years you hear about Giant Hogweed on the news here in Europe, and I swear people fear it more than wild animals.

I spent time as a wild land fire fighter. I have had ivy from Mississippi, and oak from Oregon and California. I have seen people exposed to sumac in Idaho, and Florida poison wood. Poison wood gave people huge blisters, but went away pretty quickly, didn't spread. Sumac made patches of blisters so close together that it just looked like the skin was oozing off, it seemed to persist the longest, pretty close between it and oak from California. Sumac didn't seem to spread either. Ivy makes less densely packed little blisters, but they all itch individually, so the sensation can be mentally draining. The ivy did spread, but it didn't have a lasting effect, it thinned out as it went. The worst exposure I have ever had came from oak in California. The initial rash seeps, and that ooze spreads the oil pretty quickly. This stuff in California grows like old growth rhododendron, so does not resemble other normally identifiable plants. We were cutting forests of the stuff with chainsaws before a local informed us what it was... It burns, it itches, the histamine reaction makes you bloat and retain water. Your skin gets saturated and damages easily, so any scratching causes easy marks that also itch... It takes forever to dry out and get rid of, if not dealt with immediately. Your body may eventually metabolize the irritants away, but the environment does not. Once you have had a sufficiently large exposure to the oils, and if you are prone to histamine responses, you get what I called sympathetic reactions. Where the worst affected places _remember_ the reaction, and responds as if the oil is already there. So, weeks after your exposure you inadvertantly get some on the cuff of your wrist... Bam! The whole darn resection can flare back up. I never experienced this with ivy. Once I was exposed to west coast oak, ivy never affected me again. Sumac never caused me to react, thankfully, it seemed the most miserable. Poison wood seemed crazy, only saw one exposure. The instantly oxidizing, black as tar, sap was usually a dead give away. Ivy had this response as well. Oak does oxidize black, but it takes much longer. I cannot remember if sumac had this response, but I assume it did.

The last one about drinking venom... I believe the most correct answer is "don't do it." Even if stomach acid would break it down to become relatively harmless, it could still get into your blood stream by slipping under your tongue where it might slip through the relatively thin barrier or into any minor cut you're not aware of... and if it survives the stomach acid well enough, it could be absorbed through your intestines. Just seems like a needless risk given that if you're wrong about it being safe it'll be a really, really bad time for you. And while venoms are _meant_ to be injected for their harmful effects, I believe there are some that are still hazardous to soft tissues... they're just way, way worse when injected. So... yeah, don't get cocky by trying to create venom-infused alcohol or whatever.

I had a friend who lived further out in the country in Australia and relied on tank water for everything. Unfortunately, a large brown snake had made it's way into the tank and died inside. My friend became seriously ill from drinking this water and the ambos immediately assumed snake venom. He was administered the anti venom. He survived this ordeal at the age of 75 but it took weeks for him to recover.

Weird... I swear when I was a kid we had a bunch of poison ivy in our yard and I played in it and it bothered me a bit early on but then stopped. There were a bunch of rolley polies I liked to play with in there ( aka pillbugs ), which is why I kept going back. I don't know why, I just liked those little guys.

Something that is not mentioned here is that you can actually build tolerance to poison oak. I have seen this first hand. I have always been very sensitive to it. That was untill I went through a winter where I had permanent moderate to serious infection for an entire winter because I could not stay away from it at my work. And after that winter I have to fear it less because now I go through it and maybe get a some small rashes that go away in a week instead of multiple. Or have nothing happen at all. I don't think it's been studied but it's common knowledge up here in Norcal.

Poison Ivy: BEST advice I ever saw regarding urushiol was to think about it being on you like clear axle grease. You can't see it, but it's thick like that. So if you were exposed, you need to scrub it off you like you were scrubbing off thick axle grease. Since I have been doing that, I rarely get more than an annoying level of reaction; couple little blisters that heal up in a couple days. If you've never gotten rotten, stinking, jet-black axle grease on you so you can understand...well, lucky you. But I can set you up with some if you want!

When talking about drinking venom and the blue ring, octopus came up. Talked about how deadly it is. Probably best not to eat, but we don't know the effects of eating tetrodotoxin. 22:10 Yes, we do from pufferfish fugu tetrodotoxin. Pufferfish are poisonous blue-ringed octopus that is venomous and poisonous when you bite or swallow the venom gland.

CC says hogweed is in “reigning Washington.” That actually sounds like what he said but it should be”rainy Washington.”

Sometimes, it's fun to proofread the CCs. Sometimes, I can hear why the CCs made those mistakes, too.

Maybe that's why the daffodil is the emblem of cancer awareness week.

oohoohoo i love daffodils, they were mythologically named after narcissus (duh) and are one of my many favorite poisonous plants because of that intersection between science and mythology

I had to throw my head back and cackle because I am that friend. Or rather that mom. I gave my kids the “venomous vs poisonous” lecture yesterday

Well this is one very awesome SciShow video

In Denmark it they are called bearclaw and you call the local highway department, if you see them when you drive by.

The Danish word for Giant Hogweed is Bjørneklo which directly translated is Bearclaw. I was taught as a kid to never ever touch it.

I'm now envisioning a video game wherein you play a snake who has a bonus perk of becoming poisonous after eating certain frogs.

there was a lot of poison ivy back in my home town, never had a reaction to it. I seem to be one of the few folks who aren't affected by it.

On the 1971 Genesis album Nursery Cryme there is a song called The Return Of The Giant Hogweed. That's where I learned about that plant.

Had to get rid of 3 hogweed in b.c. myself. Just used a garbage bag wrapped it up and cut the stem carfully and dug out its roots. I was really worried about it haha

I am one of those people who rolls around in poison ivy and show off to my friends that I am not allergic to it. I have never been. Ever since I was a child I have been rolling around in poison ivy accidentally and when are they friends with you allergic reactions I would only feel extend from where the plant got in touch with me. But after watching this video I’ll be a lot more careful I never knew do you could eventually get bad karma.

Highly missed opportunity to discuss the most devilish of plants, the venomous gimpie-gimpie.

I love the longer videos

I NEVER knew snakes can be poisonous but yet again I'm not surprised cause nature has ways of surprising you

hope you're all doing well at SciShow!!!

On poison ivy: My brother was burning some yard trash, including poison ivy. He walked through the smoke, inhaling some. Result was:"Don't do that again!"

Ive been a victim of giant hogweed when i was 5. It was horrid and i still remember it vividly and will not go anywhere near it now. This was in Kentucky

Even if venom couldn't survive your stomach in any case, it'd be a terrible idea to drink it. You can never be certain of a total lack of open sores in your mouth to get envenomed through.

Is it possible to knock someone out with body odor, halitosis, or flatus?

There was a woman who sickened some hospital staff, that were trying to help her when she fell ill. Her body was giving off some kind of toxic gas. www.discovermagazine.com/health/analysis-of-a-toxic-death

Interesting fact. dentaldepotarizona.com/history-of-halitosis/ "Let’s get something straight: Listerine did not invent bad breath, they just figured out a clever way to create a market for their productIt was during the 1920s that bad breath became more than just a fact of life. And it was Gerald Lambert, the son of the owner of Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, who came across the term, “halitosis,” in an old medical journal. Halitosis is an old Latin word meaning, “bad breath.” But because of its scientific-sounding name, people started to pay attention. It was framed as a medical condition that required treatment, and of course, the prescription was Listerine mouthwash."

So poison ivy rashes are caused by an immune reaction to the plant oil. That explains a lot in my family. My dad has severe breakouts every time he encounters it, even if he's just walking through the woods. Me? I can pull it like a weed and don't have a problem. I guess he's got an allergy to it and I don't.
