The<br />stems have ribbing. The flower is flatter and bigger. I have no idea where it came from. How do I dispose of it?<br /><br />Thanks, John Hamer 952-220-4784 hamerjohn34@gmail.comJohn Hamer, blogger wannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685459602204619214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860243831617467645.post-2068342298244824752016-08-01T08:40:50.093-07:002016-08-01T08:40:50.093-07:00Hi Omega; I have learned from an unfortunate exper...Hi Omega; I have learned from an unfortunate experience that it is possible to get the burns from touching tools/equipment that has the dried sap on it as well. Once you get the burn, the area becomes very sensitive to the sun. The sensitivity can last for years, and it increaes your chances of developing melanoma. Make sure to apply high spf sunscreen to the area affected every time you go outside, or cover the area to avoid sun exposure. Recommendations I've seen are not to break the blisters, but you should see a dermatologist for medical advice. There are prescriptions that natural resource managers have told me about that worked; one is called Ultravate. If your encounter with wild parsnip was in Ramsey County MN, please let me know the location. Good luck and be safe out there!Ramsey County CWMAhttps://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/environment/ramsey-conservation-district/cooperative-weed-management-areanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860243831617467645.post-63975983759336370112016-07-18T14:13:00.961-07:002016-07-18T14:13:00.961-07:00Had a friend send this to me.

It only last a few days. I drain it an keep it clean. It dries up an it good. I guess this has happened to my wrist about 3 times. But it came up about once every other month on the back of my head, give or take.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671534273992458830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860243831617467645.post-85886592685443547592015-06-25T13:59:21.000-07:002015-06-25T13:59:21.000-07:00Great Information!!!!Great Information!!!!Anita Jaderhttp://www.anitajader.comnoreply@blogger.com
