Clusters of giant hogweed have been found in Ashtabula County, with un- confirmed reports of toeholds in Lake and Columbiana counties.
The US Department of Agriculture has the plant on its noxious weed list.
David Marrison of the Ohio State University Extension office in Ashtabula County says hogweed sap can cause second-degree chemical burns on a person.
Specimens grow up to 15 feet tall, with green and purple-splotched hollow stems about 3 inches in diameter and green leaves up to several feet long. An umbrella- like spray of small white flowers tops the stalks.
Marrison inspected a cluster of more than 100 of the plants surrounding a barn in Pierpont, Ohio, about 60 miles northeast of Cleveland near the Pennsylvania state line.
The property owner said he has tried without success to kill the plants.

There has been news at the television, that they have also infested Finland now, and authorities try to poison them.
All resistance is futile, though.

Well, after loads of research, I've discoverd that these "Giant
hogweed's" where discoverd originally in a small farm known locally as
"Willow farm," they were first found by the Guarenteed eternal
sanctuary man. He reported this to Iknaton and Itsacon and their band
of merry men, a close freind that does opera's and dances around nearby
towns. They were inturupted durring there opera performance where this
girls three lovers leaped across the stage singing in unison about how
much they loved them. But thats beside the point. They walked to a
nearby town, and before reporting the Hogweed , they stopped at a
salesmen along the road telling to a crowd:
"These woman are overworking us men! And this makes us need to walk
long distanced. I don't know about you, but I'm getting tierd of this.
The woman don't know about the aching mens feet. And they don't have
to! Now, by our deluxe comforter foot pad. It can stretch to meet any
shoe length. So those aching feet will go away forever."
Seeing as how they had just walked such a distance, they decided to by
the shoe comforter. They fult much better, but were out of money. and
they had no energy to walk back home later that evening. So they went
to go do some oddjobs and they found a young cocky man who they decided
to help for minimum wage for a motel room that night. They relized they
had made a mistake when the man looked into a mirror and said "How dare
I be so beautifull, hmm?" Looking at Iknaton. "How can I stand
being this beautifull? Seriously, heh, Look at me! I'm gorgeous!"
Needing the money, Iknaton did the best he could to keep his cool and
keep his pay. "Uhh... I don't know, I tried, but I couldn't manage it."
Trying to atleast manage being funny. It didn't work. "Are you saying
you can match up to my beauty?" It all just went ownhill from there.
The merry men did an amazing job cleaning the house, however. And they
kept there pay. Itsacon stayed a bit longer because as he turned on the
TV he saw a commercial that said "Milla Jovovich stars in Resident
evil, apocolypse, 9/8 central. He rememberd the hotel to have no TV. So
he stayed with the cocky kid and met up with the others that night. AS
they awake in the morning, they all change, wash up, etc. and go to the
News station and report the hogweed, since their was no evidence, it
was all pointless and they went back home as it was officially reported
an hour later somewhere else in the world.
However the eternal sanctuary man got home to find his angry wife. "I
told you, you always need to come home when Supper's Ready! Now your
dinner and breakfast are cold!"
Sorry for wasting your time. I just thought this report needed to be
said and heard! Just so that The eternal sanctuary man, Iknaton,
Itsacon, and the mery men's journy along with the aching feet where not
in vain.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have what may be the first Genesis fanfic.
I'm waiting for Liquid Len and Harold The Barrel to destroy this menace.
Better not compromise, it won't be easy!
