Poison Hemlock!
Poison hemlock is one of the most harmful plants that grow in Michigan, so it is essential to stay clear of it. Though just touching the plant won’t usually cause a rash or serious reaction, extra precaution is vital with this plant. For example, you could develop hemlock poisoning through the skin from open wounds, minor cuts, or scrapes. It’s also possible to get hemlock poisoning in the mucus membranes of your eyes and nose.
