Mowed grass on the site. Received chemical burns hogweed

Decided to mow the grass on the site. He took his brother benzokosilku. It was a drive for the cutting of large trunks of plants: burdock, for example. Coils and line was not. I had to buy because trying to mow the drive, I realized that there is no quality, are blades of grass and speed the process two or three times less.

In mid-June-slanting hand-mowed scythe - cut dandelion and some tall stalks of grass.

Universal reel benzokosilok with set screws for mounting on different diameters axes. It was a disc with pobeditovymi tipped.

Remove the drive was still the task. As it turned out, the nut that fixes the disc - is threaded with reverse thread (unscrewed in the opposite direction). I never changed the coil in such a garden tool. I do not think that samozakruchivaniya It provides reverse-threaded. Cranked, stripped threads. I had to cut a nut grinder. And only when the tightening reel, I realized what was happening.

Spread gasoline and oil for chainsaws (1 liter gasoline enough for 20 acres). It was incredible heat by our standards and mowed with a naked torso. Got plot with parsnip and natural herbal dust fell on me. Though after work I washed them, the day appeared burns:

A neighbor to testify about two years ago was the same, plus the brilliant green for disinfection - simply carried beveled parsnip to compost pit. Good thing I was in protective glasses and scraps do not fall into the eye. A stubble burn did not give a person (other than two seats).

I've known about this harmful plant cow parsnip, even burned them (there were a couple of blisters). But in the process I not even thought that its juice with cut grass falls on the exposed areas. Heat dilutes brains. )))

Since childhood he knew the plant with the official name, but we called him "pipes." Young trunk can be cleaned from the top of the peel and eat. Pleasant taste. Just ate children and young rudiments of flowers (not yet blooming):

This infection, new hogweed appeared at us not so long ago. 7 years ago it did not exist. They are overgrown abandoned fields and it spreads further. It turns out that types of Hogweed - tens:

To reach us from the poisonous kind in Europe! In fact, climate change is that it? It has a very strong root. In an ideal - it is better to weed, uproot, because of the cut-off even at the root of the stem - then grows a new one.

Probably, many people can bring their history of contact with the hogweed.

Be careful and always remember about this dangerous plant. And if you have contact with him (mowed grass or weeds) - Wear gloves and clothing that covers all parts of the body.
