Poison Hemlock Toxicity Video                                 

Roger Batt holds up a stalk from last years Poison Hemlock. He notes that it is taller than he is and will typically grow 10 feet tall or more. He points out the main stem and branching stems and the top where the seeds were. He cautions that all parts of the plant are very toxic, with poison alkalies within the entire plant. He states that often you'll hear of children using the hollow stalk as a pea shooter and he cautions against this, because you could easily die from doing this.
