Warning as deadly hemlock on increase
2005
Overview
Pharmacologist Dr Brian Moffat has carried out a survey of the potentially deadly weed, and has discovered more than 850 flowering hemlock plants along the A68 road from Dalkeith. \"We would warn people not to touch hemlock - the problem is that it looks like a lot of other plants and is difficult to identify. People living in the Dalkeith area should be particularly careful. Sometimes people boil leaves for tea, and if they made a mistake and added hemlock to that, it could be deadly. You don't need to take very much for it to be fairly toxic.\" The first modern scientific report of hemlock poisoning happened in Edinburgh in 1845, where a man called Duncan Gow died after he ate hemlock gathered by his children from beneath the Scott Monument.
