This beautiful but toxic weed could make you go blind

Be careful before you pick that pretty wildflower. Giant hogweed, which can grow up to twenty feet tall and produce large, white flowers resembling those of Queen Anne's Lace, is a beautiful but dangerous plant which produces a clear sap that is capable of causing third-degree burns or even blindness for those who contact it.
