'If a little kid falls in there, gets it on their face or something, that's going to cause them life-changing injuries so I'm lucky but someone else may not be.'
A man has been left with potentially lifelong scars after touching what is described as Britain's most dangerous plant.
Daniel Logan stung his ankle on a giant hogweed in Boston Manor Park, west London, while retrieving a football. Toxic sap from the weed, which grows near canals and rivers, can increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight, often leading to burns."Now I know, it will never happen again," he added. "But I'm lucky, I'm 21 years old and it's only my ankle.""If a little kid falls in there, gets it on their face or something, that's going to cause them life-changing injuries so I'm lucky but someone else may not be.
"If I had seen some signs I wouldn't have gone down into the bush. I've only gone in to get the ball for my brother but if I was made aware what it was and what it could do to you, I definitely wouldn't have gone in there."
