Public warned of dangers of giant weed which causes blisters and serious burns

The white flowers of the Giant Hogweed, look quite nice and would nearly attract children to pick them, but they are very dangerous.

A GP is warning the public about the dangers of a giant weed which can result in serious burns resulting in hospitalisation.

Dr Justin Kwong said he has dealt with several cases so far this summer and feels it is important to warn people about the dangers of giant hogweed.
