Warning - Hemlock Water Dropwart -

This stuff is growing everywhere by streams in particular- it is the most poisonous plant in the U.K. and dogs can be poisoned just by walking through it.

Two dogs near us and my sons dog (Dorset) have had to be put on drips after passing bl00dy mucus and not able to stand.

Cost my son £hundreds - tho thankfully looks like the insurance will pay.

It looks like Cow Parsley - the leaves especially look like normal parsley, but not so crinkly - if you walk your dog in wet areas do avoid this stuff

As I cannot post links - I have emailed Phil the link and hopefully he will do the honours. For now, just googling it will get the info on this highly toxic plant.
