Scary carrot

If we were all taught properly, as we should be, we would know simple things such as this at an early age.

[@PonderinginthePines]

So much knowledge lost or confused in the last 50-100 years

Is this native to Ohio too?

[@PonderinginthePines]

Its native across much of the united states and Canada, but making gains in territory, and there are 4 other species in the genus. Very likely the largest (and most aggressive) is pressent in Ohio, Cicuta douglasii, but entirely possible that conium maculatum is there too.
