A warning has been issued to children over the dangers of giant hogweed.
The plant has been dubbed " Britain's most dangerous " as it can cause severe discomfort and blistering to the skin. Giant hogweed is considered a danger to public health as the plant's sap is extremely toxic to the skin in sunlight.
The technical property care manager of the Property Care Association’s Invasive Weed Control Group said the plant is mainly encountered by children playing out in the summer holidays and urged young people in Merseyside to be careful.
