Poisonous 'parsnips' warning: Walkers told to avoid deadly plant roots


Share
'The plant, Hemlock Water Dropwort, more widely referred to as 'Poisonous Parsnips' or 'Dead Man's Fingers', is relatively common along parts of the UK coastline, however, the roots which look similar to a parsnip are extremely toxic to both animals and humans.
'It is possible that recent stormy weather and tidal surges may have unearthed and uprooted these plants, then they have been washed ashore.
'If you think your dog may have come into contact or ingested any 'poisonous parsnips' it is advised to seek veterinary assistance as soon as possible.
'These plants also pose health risks to humans if physical contact is made so caution is advised at this time.'
