Cow parsnip, while seemingly harmless, can pose dangers due to its potential to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some individuals. The plant contains phototoxic compounds that, upon contact with the skin and exposure to sunlight, can cause a reaction known as phytophotodermatitis, resulting in redness, blistering, and irritation. If you encounter cow parsnip during your stroll and experience skin irritation, start by washing the affected area with soap and water. Applying a cold compress can help reduce inflammation and provide relief from discomfort. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
