June 25, 2018 -- Experts in Virginia are warning people to be on the lookout for giant hogweed, a dangerous plant that might make poison ivy seem tame. Giant hogweed is an invasive species that can grow up to 14 feet tall, with beautiful blooms similar to those of Queen Anne’s lace. Although nice to look at, the plant produces a toxic sap that can cause serious blisters, third-degree burns, and permanent blindness.
