Beware of Giant Hogweed

NJDEP sent me an email about a dangerous plant I didn't know about, nor do I recall ever seeing it, and the photograph inside the pdf I've linked to shows a plant resembling common Queen Anne's Lace, though it does appear a little different.

The sap of Giant Hogweed on the skin can cause severe burns, once that skin is exposed to sun. And it can cause blindness if it gets in your eyes.
