This is the sign posted by all the DNR parking areas when we went pheasant hunting last Saturday. And sure enough there was one right there near the sign. Never remember worrying about these things when I was a kid running through the tall grassy fields but now we have this. Read this from the DNR site. Anyone ever got "burned" by this stuff?
CAUTION: Care should be taken to avoid skin contact with the juices of this plant. Proper clothing (gloves and a long-sleeved shirt) must be worn to prevent the phytophotodermatitic effects.
