Poison hemlock is a highly toxic plant that’s a member of the carrot family. It’s commonly mistaken for wild carrot, wild parsnip, or wild parsley. This can lead you to accidentally eat it.

Every part of the hemlock plant is poisonous, including the seeds, root, stem, leaves and fruit. It can be fatal if ingested.

Poison hemlock resembles Queen Anne’s lace. Settlers brought the plant to the United States from Europe as a garden plant. Today, it grows throughout every region of the U.S. It grows along fences, roadsides and ditches, and in marshes, meadows and other low-lying areas.

If you have eaten this poisonous plant, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Hemlock poisoning can cause severe symptoms within 15 minutes of ingestion.
