There are recent reports from both Cumbria, St Bees beach, and Cornwall, Porthkidney, of Hemlock water dropwort which can prove fatal to humans and animals by attacking the nervous system and causing the body to shut down. They are known as "poisonous parsnips" and "dead man's fingers" because of their shape. They are said to be one of the most poisonous plants in the northern hemisphere.
