Poison Hemlock is a flowering plant that is part of the carrot family, but it can be fatal if ingested by humans or animals. The non-native plant was relatively rare until about 30 years ago, said Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ chief botanist Richard Gardner, but now it’s becoming more common.

Locally much more widespread back in 2018-2020. It's still around, now more people know to control it back. Except for the ones that don't, or don't care. "I like it. How come my animals are getting sick?" (when they have grazed down to that's what is left to eat).

Hemlock has nothing on Henbane, and there are plenty of places I would like to see more of both grow. Kudzu too.
