I thought you were wise in telling the Queen Anne story, which helps folks remember. Also liked that you showed one flower at a time, which is less confusing for the novice to learn. Good job.
The lady I read about came in from weeding and decided to shower because she wasn’t feeling well. Within hours, she was in hospital. In her case-high sensitivity and high exposure-the shower saved her life by stopping any more exposure.
I could have seen myself doing that! In fact the neighbor has it in the front "lawn", but I think it is the Wild Carrot type [certainly hope! I will want to check now].
Omg! As a city girl living in an apartment and now learning about plant medicine. I just wanna say; From my heart to yours, a huge thank you for this very valuable information. 🙏😊❤👍
There is another plant that closely resembles both Queen Anne's Lace and Hemlock. It's called Cow Parsley, and it is harmless. You might want to include it in another video, as all three plants can be easily confused. 🙂
Lol, knowing that you can absorb it threw the skin, watching you holding onto it and waving it all around was driving me crazy, I just kept wanting to wash your hands 😆Great video, really great descriptions and comparisons. Thankfully I have a hard time doing these videos because I haven't come across any poison hemlock anywhere here, but at least if I do come across it someday, I will have your video description in my head.
Thank you so much brother! This is how you do an identification guide. Nothing about the benefits of the plant, just raw assed this is how to tell the difference.
GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO!! I live in a rural area that I KNOW has both of these plants and this video has been the BEST I've ever seen on telling the difference between the two. The Queen Anne story points will definitely stay with me! Thank you!
Another plant that some folks confuse with Queen Anne's Lace at first glance is Yarrow. The flower heads are not the usual perfectly round shape of QAL, are not single stalks, and the leaves are very different, too. From a distance they can look similar, though.
The West Coast native Queen Anne’s Lace does not have the single purple flower in the middle. The ones that do-they commonly grow together-are introduced like 45% of all herbaceous plants in British Columbia (grasses are 80% introduced). Poison hemlock can be identified by the four chambers visible in the cross-section of the stem (just makes sure not to get the juice on you). Out here on the Coast we have a nasty introduced invasive -Giant Hogweed-which is also a member of the carrot family. It looks a lot like the native Cow Parsnip. Both grow to about eight feet tall and feature a huge carrot-style florescence a foot and a half across-quite stunning, actually. Unfortunately, Hogweed is a dangerous plant: it’s juice reacts with sunlight and, if you get it on your skin it results in serious burns -yes, “burns” which then become wicked scabs and, eventually, scars. And there have been tragic incidences where children look through a segment of hollow stem -playing pirate with a ‘telescope’ -except if they get the juice, even a little bit around or in their eyes, they can and sometimes do go blind-permanently. Needless to say, word got out and an eradication industry has developed. A landscaping friend showed me the insides of her arms where she’d been hacking down and got ‘juiced’-pretty wicked scars. She was very pissed off. Her long, svelte, beautiful arms and golden tan are permanenty scarred. Unfortunately, the native Cow Parsnip-which is not poisonous-is being collaterally wiped out. In general, all members of the carrot family are toxic to some extent-domestic carrot foliage will give you a tummy ache and domestic parsnips foliage will make you sick-yet parsley foliage is actually healthy (which makes me wonder which part is toxic.
Great video! I almost picked a huge bunch of hemlock thinking it was queen annes lace but stopped bcuz I couldn’t find the red bloom on any of the flowers…phew! That saved me! Found out later from a more experienced gardening friend that it was poison hemlock. So glad I knew that one trait…! Loved to learn about the other traits as well!
I think Hedge Parsley looks very similar to Poison Hemlock. I have some in my yard, and the flowers are almost identical, but the leaves are different.
Great information, thank you. The plant comparison was especially useful and provided points of easy reference. Definitely appreciate you sharing this information.
Matt is touching it, omg. I removed some of this stuff after it had gone to seed at the edge of my yard and did my best to avoid touching any, but the wind caught one that was in the jaws of my grabber tool and caused it to swing around and brush against my bicep and I got a hell of a rash from it, similar to poison ivy.
I’ve come into contact with it many times without any issues. We will all have different levels of sensitivity to it. However, I would not handle a broken stalk in the same way.
I like the stories of Queen Anne, especially the funny hairy legs.... I am also surprised you are touching the Hemlock, but your information is super helpful, thank you!
Different people will have different levels of sensitivity to skin contact with the plant. Just touching the plant may have little to no effect on you but, however, the possibility exists that it may cause severe dermatitis for some people and caution should be used for this reason. I’ve personally come into contact with the plant on many occasions without issue but other people may have a different experience. Also, other things like sweating and having opened skin pores may compound the problem and cause serious illness from contact. Lastly, I would certainly be much more cautious about touching it if the skin of the plant were broken and the sap or liquid from the plant was exposed. Absorbing it in the skin would almost certainly cause issues like increased heart rate, nausea or worse. Be careful out there and enjoy nature!
@@americansurvivalco.9999 Oh yeah, those are great things to consider, and very helpful to keep in mind for me too. Thank you for your assistance and teaching!
Nice video! We have Queen Anne's Lace growing in our back yard. I was just about to watch a video about making a tincture with it but wanted to make sure I was correctly identifying it.
I’m sure you’ve done your research on it but, make sure to do a deep dive on possible outcomes from ingesting it before using it. Research shows some pretty serious possible impacts. For example, multiple sources show that the seeds are an emmenagogue and can impact pregnancy. Always be safe and research multiple sources for possible outcomes before using or ingesting. Have a great day!
I hope you immediately washed your hands. I almost picked some poison hemlock today, but sonething told me bot to because it could be poisonous, so i came inside ans looked it up here. Thank you so much for the information!!!
FWIW I had a bunch of hemlock with big white umbels in a fairly shady spot in my yard, so must not necessarily need lots of direct sunlight. The first spring in a new house brought lots of surprises growing. Beautiful alliums, but also surprise poison! 😂
I've been watching your videos for awhile now, and lately I've had my young son watching them. He also finds them entertaining and informative. Aged 10. We both believe you do a great job explaining without droning on, and your videos are packed full of useful information. Thanks very much for sharing your time.
It's been said already, but the Queen Anne analogy you used has really helped me wrap my head around the differences and actually remember them!! Thank you for explaining so thoroughly; the pacing and the details you've used were really helpful!
What a great teacher you are!! I will remember Queen Anne has hairy legs and no bruises.. Oh my goodness! Great content!! I subbed!! And the drop of blood that might be there… plus how the shield is on the bottom of the ‘flowering stem’… WOW thank you!!
Another easy way to ID this stuff is when winter sets in. Though the stalks will turn brown and dry out, the leaves nearest the ground, especially from young plants will stay green though most of the winter while all other plants have gone brown. It can be sprayed with poison easier then too as the poison will not hit any other plants. I'm in the Chicagoland area BTW.
Thanks for the video. This is one plant that I've ever taken the time to get down pat. Your video was,simple well made and right to the point. No bs. That got you a new sub. I also love the little anecdotes like queen Anne had hairy legs because they're so easy to remember. Ty again, great video
When identifying whether or not it's Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum), the lack of fuzz on the stems coupled with the stems being bright green with purple splotches is what gives it away more than the flowers or leaf patterns. Last month I was under suspicion I ripped out a Cicuta plant from my parent's front plant arrangement because I remember it being about 5 feet tall and the roots being nearly impossible to uproot. The main root shot directly down, but sub roots grew perpendicular and I even initially mistook a root for either a drain pipe or possibly a corn cob. In the end I used the spade to cut off the main plant from the offshoot roots, so it's possible it could come back I suppose. I just remember getting a rash for a few days after ripping it out. I forgot if I wore gloves or not, but getting a rash was the only affliction I remember getting.
I had a line worker tell me i had poison hemlock on property. Talk about panic. I had months before pulk up a bunch ect. Turns out after further investagation it was Queen Ann Lace. Relieved and since kearned the difference. This is a great video showing the difference.
Excellent story. The Queen Anne story. Myself and my wife and children are all from southeastern New England. My son is working way up in upstate New York ( Massena area) he’s got some kind of rash in between his fingers. Doesn’t look like typical poison ivy but it definitely looks like poison…something. I came across poison hemlock and I have to admit that I have never heard of it. Apon further exploration, turns out that it doesn’t give you the skin rash. Only in rare instances. I stumbled across your video and it was definitely helpful. Thanks for sharing!
I have been trying to ID this for a while now but now I know I have Hemlock growing everywhere. Going forward I will start using cloves for pulling it.
Thank you. My back lawn in in full with these plants. I researched first ...am cautious. Work at pulling up. And your video shows exactly what mine resemble. I'm in the city. I have fought them off for years but not ever this many. Trying to remove them before going to seed But. They make a beautiful garden for birds and bees.maybe 🦋
If you’re going to be handling them and removing them, just make sure to wear gloves, eye protection and long sleeves. When you break the stalks during removal, you don’t want to get the sap on your skin or in your eyes. Just use caution.
Queen Anne's lace is pretty easy to distinguish from water hemlock ( cicuta maculata). The flowers are different and the plants grow in completely different habitats. Hemlock has magenta patches on its stem. QAL is the exact same plant as the domestic carrot.
This is the best video I’ve seen on distinguishing the two. Most I have seen are confusing, not this one with the story time regarding Queen Ann’s lace. Thank you! I think the one I was looking at nearby is Queen’s Ann’s Lace. It’s everywhere here.
THANK YOU, MATT! I knew what Queen Anne's Lace looks like but not Hemlock. I agree with Margorie- I like the stories to help ID the difference. Great job!
White flowers that look like a rounded dome, smooth stem, blotches, stay away. Nice video. Also water hemlock looks similar but with more of a rounded dome flower arrangement and the same smooth stem and blotches. I got some good pictures of the water hemlock here in southern Alberta while canoeing at a lake shore. I pay closer attention to the harmful plants as identifying them is most important.
We are seeing an explosion of Poison Hemlock here in South Central Pennsylvania this year. It's everywhere along the roadways and it's a new infestation. I cleared about 30 plants from behind our shed last weekend...very scary stuff. Some plants were 8' tall and huge. Thanks for this great comparison.
I bought some colored wild carrots from TJ's and I saved the heads and planted them into the ground of my garden and they turned out to be Queen Anne's Lace.They are lovely and attract bees. I love them.
A very helpful and informative vid. Although you were saying “umbel” which isn’t actually a word (at least not in English😂) …but surely you meant to say ‘umbral’, right? No doubt the term “umbral” is related to the word: umbrella, which makes sense given the Wild Carrot’s umbrella shaped flower.👍
Thank you! The other videos ive watched were confusing!! I live in Arkansas and see both alot, i cant wait til tomorrow, im gonna go out and see the differences again now that i know for sure!
I read about that lady and I knew about Queen Anne the Little flower in the and all of her lace but I didn't know about her hairy legs or the pikes that guarded her. Very important points when you're looking at something like that is to go with more than one visual id
they were just known as cow poison where I came from. Easily identified because the cows would not touch it. To confuse the issue even more, we also had carraway growing in the same fields as the Hemlock and wild carrot.

wear glove when removing. dont burn becaue you can breath in the poison. I really like your queen anne story- makes id easy to remember. There is a plant here in Texas, where all plants bite back, that looks like hemlock and has a sticky burr for a seed. trying to identify the burr generating weed.
What a very thorough explanation, thank you! Saw some at the lake yesterday, didnt touch it cause i wasnt sure. So tomorrow im going back to check it out! 😊
Last month I pulled lots of them from my land. I spent 4 hours pulling them out, because I don't like their seeds, which stick to my dogs' bellies. I did't know they are poisonous. I got lots of poison oaks, but they don't harm me. Thank you for the informative video.
Ugh! I’m afraid my backyard is full of hemlock but it doesn’t have the purple like these do. They have every other trait you described though. I’ve spent the last week pulling them so maybe that’s a sign it’s not. I wish I knew for sure.
I’ve personally came in contact with the plant on multiple occasions without any issues. However, different people will have different levels of sensitivity to skin contact with the plant. Just touching the plant may have little to no effect on you however, the possibility exists that it may cause severe dermatitis so caution should be used for this reason. Other things like a person sweating and having opened skin pores may compound the problem and cause serious illness from skin contact as well. Be careful out there and enjoy nature!

@@MsUnknown300 just not highly sensitive to it. However, I would not handle a broken stalk the same way.

Last year was a very good year for its growth here in Washington.
Which one? The hemlock or the Queen Anne's Lace?

A very helpful and informative vid. Although you were saying “umbel” which isn’t actually a word (at least not in English😂) …but surely you meant to say ‘umbral’, right?
No doubt the term “umbral” is related to the word: umbrella, which makes sense given the Wild Carrot’s umbrella shaped flower.👍

How the hell are you not effected handling the poisonous one?
Different people will have different levels of sensitivity to skin contact with the plant. Just touching the plant may have little to no effect on you but, it can cause dermatitis for some people and caution should be used for this reason. Other things like sweating and opened skin pores may compound the problem and cause serious illness from contact.
Be careful out there and enjoy nature!
It is said that even the fumes are toxic. Very frightening plant. I don't think he should've been handling so much since the plant can be deadly
@@americansurvivalco.9999 good to know. I’m just not going to touch it and play it safe haha. Thanks for the clarification

Great video! We have tons of what I thought is poison hemlock on our property, so I am going to go verify now!
Good video on the topic. Thank you.
Ugh! I’m afraid my backyard is full of hemlock but it doesn’t have the purple like these do. They have every other trait you described though. I’ve spent the last week pulling them so maybe that’s a sign it’s not. I wish I knew for sure.
Very good video thanks 😊
That is crazy how something so beautiful and magnificent can be so deadly!
I am wondering why you keep touching it if it's poison? Just curious not attacking.
I’ve personally came in contact with the plant on multiple occasions without any issues. However, different people will have different levels of sensitivity to skin contact with the plant. Just touching the plant may have little to no effect on you however, the possibility exists that it may cause severe dermatitis so caution should be used for this reason. Other things like a person sweating and having opened skin pores may compound the problem and cause serious illness from skin contact as well.
Be careful out there and enjoy nature!
Something else I heard is if you cut the stem the hemlock is hollow where the QAL isn't
wow I just pulled by gloveless hand a bunch of the hemlock today I had no clue thanks for posting
Thanks for the vid. Brushed my arm against Poison Hemlock once. Lesson learned.
You got sick just from touching it? I know different people certainly have different levels of sensitivity to skin contact with the plant.
@@americansurvivalco.9999 No - about an hour later it started to burn like fire. Didn’t let up until next morning.
Great video!
