Warning over common plant which can cause blindness in humans and dogs

The highly invasive species, Giant Hogweed, can cause severe burns and even blindness - even its sap, a danger to humans and pets, is a risk, and weed experts are warning the public Plant specialists are raising concerns about a widespread species that can cause horrific burns, potentially returning for years and even leading to sight loss. ‌ This extremely invasive variety poses particular dangers through its sap, which triggers photosensitivity, creating serious risks for both people and animals. ‌ Jennifer Holmes from Environment Controls has delivered a chilling alert regarding Giant Hogweed, urging utmost care around this specimen frequently discovered along riverside paths and within wooded areas. ‌ She said: "This dramatic looking plant, found along many a river path, or woodland walk, must be treated with extreme caution. Its toxic sap contains furocoumarin, which makes skin extremely sensitive to sunlight and is a danger to humans and pets. Its distinctive flower heads emerge in June - and can be easily mistaken for other plants such as Cow parsley (non-toxic), Hemlock or Hemlock water dropwort (both highly toxic)." She added: "If you touch Giant Hogweed you may not notice anything immediately as the effects may take up to 24 hours to emerge, but soon large blisters will form on skin and will recur when exposed to sunlight. As well as its harmful properties, as it colonises river banks this can make it difficult to eradicate - do not try to remove it yourself, always consult an expert.", reports the Express. ‌ Giant Hogweed, scientifically termed heracleum mantegazzianum, represents an invasive, foreign plant variety included within The Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019. Planting this species or allowing it to spread into the wild is an offence, as it aggressively invades natural habitats. Landowners are legally responsible for controlling its growth, and failure to do so - especially if it spreads onto neighbouring properties - can result in fines or other legal consequences. Daniel Docking from Property Care Association (PCA) also emphasised the importance of public knowledge on the matter: "It is important to make the public aware of the presence of giant hogweed, and the risks associated with exposure to it," reports Manchester Evening News. ‌ He went on to stress the escalating worry: "This is a highly invasive weed that grows vigorously and its distribution and frequency is increasing over time. Every year there are reports of injuries affecting people who have come into contact with the plant, as it produces a skin reaction that is antagonised by exposure to sunlight." Agonising Recurring Blisters and Burns These aren't ordinary burns; skin affected by Giant Hogweed may develop blisters repeatedly upon sun exposure, potentially for years after the initial encounter, reports Wales Online. ‌ Blindness and Eye Damage Contact with the sap, particularly in the eyes, can lead to severe irritation, blurred or lost vision, and, in rare but serious cases, permanent blindness. This makes it especially hazardous for curious children and pets who may unknowingly come into contact with the common plant. Delayed Reaction Those who come into contact with the perilous plant may not exhibit symptoms for up to two days, often leading to unsuspecting individuals spending even more time in the sun, thereby worsening the damage. How can you identify Giant Hogweed? The PCA has provided guidance to help people distinguish the dangerous giant hogweed, which can easily be confused with Britain's native Hogweed, Cow Parsley or Hemlock plants, although these are significantly smaller and have leaves with a smoother edge. The association strongly advises against getting too close to the plant when trying to identify it. Key characteristics of giant hogweed include its height: The Giant Hogweed is an exceptionally tall biennial or perennial herbaceous plant, capable of growing over 10 feet. Flowers: It flaunts large, white, umbrella-shaped flower heads (up to 50cm wide) that resemble an oversized Cow parsley. Stem: The stems are thick, hollow, and ridged, coloured green with distinctive purple blotches and stiff, white hairs. Leaves: The leaves are large, deeply lobed, and sharply toothed, often reaching over a metre in width. What should you do if you react to Giant Hogweed? If you or your pet come into contact with the sap of Giant Hogweed, it's crucial to rinse the affected area thoroughly and immediately with soap and cold water. Make sure to keep the exposed skin out of direct sunlight for at least 48 hours. If blisters develop, or if the sap gets into the eyes, seek urgent medical care. Owing to the longevity of the Giant Hogweed's seeds and the hazard posed by its poisonous sap, professional removal is required.

Woman ditches 10,000 steps a day for Japanese walking and has never been fitter

Japanese walking, also known as the '3-3 walking workout', was developed by two professors in Japan and offers a different approach to step counting and fitness In today's world, the obsession with counting steps has become more prevalent than ever. ‌ With our smartphones and wearable tech tracking every move we make - from the number of stairs we climb to the calories we burn - the once niche practice of step counting has now become a part of our daily routines. ‌ However, while many are striving to hit their target of 10,000 or even 20,000 steps a day, others are choosing to step away from this trend and explore new methods. ‌ Amy Glover, a writer for HuffPost UK, shared her personal experience. Despite being an avid runner and frequent gym visitor, she found it challenging to consistently reach the 10k daily step goal. The demands of working from home made it even more difficult to fit in long walks after work or during lunch breaks. But everything changed when Glover stumbled upon the Japanese walking trend, also known as the '3-3 walking workout. ', reports the Express. ‌ This method, developed by Professor Hiroshi Nose and Associate Professor Shizue Masuki at Shinshu University in Matsumoto, Japan, applies the principles of interval training to everyday walking. Unlike traditional step goals that focus solely on distance, the Japanese walking method emphasises intensity and structure. The routine is straightforward - walk briskly for three minutes, then slow down for three minutes. This cycle is repeated five times, totalling 30 minutes. ‌ The approach isn't just about quantity but about varying pace and effort in a way that maximises cardiovascular benefit. A groundbreaking study conducted in 2007 by the creators of the method found that middle-aged participants who adopted the Japanese walking technique saw a decrease in blood pressure, stronger thigh muscles and improved aerobic capacity compared to those who didn't walk or walked at a moderate pace for similar durations. For Glover - and many others - the attraction is both efficiency and enjoyment. After taking up Japanese walking, her average daily step count actually increased to over 8,000 despite spending less time on her feet. ‌ She notes that the interval structure makes walks feel shorter and more engaging; knowing a session will last just half an hour removes mental barriers to getting started. The psychological shift is significant: "I walk more often and enjoy it more," says Glover. "The three-minute-on, three-minute-off approach makes exercise go by much faster." Scientific research indicates that any form of consistent moderate-intensity walking can offer substantial benefits for cardiovascular and mental health, and regular movement helps maintain a healthy weight while strengthening muscles and bones - a crucial factor in preventing osteoporosis and preserving mobility as we age. While many fitness fads come and go, Japanese walking's blend of scientific backing and real-world accessibility suggests it may have lasting appeal. For those who find traditional step goals challenging or are looking for a more effective way to maintain their health, particularly during hectic work-from-home routines, this approach provides a feasible route to enhanced wellbeing.

Make 'easy' poached egg in just seconds without a frying pan or vinegar

Cooking a poached egg can be a struggle as it's easy for the egg white to separate in the water once cracked, but one expert has shared a simple way to make the breakfast favourite just right Preparing a poached egg is simpler than you might imagine and can be accomplished in just one minute, provided you follow the correct method. ‌ Nothing beats a perfectly soft poached egg atop a slice of buttered toast, yet the egg can easily disintegrate when cracked into boiling water. Dannii Martin, a culinary expert and creator of Hungry Healthy Happy, has revealed that the straightforward approach to cooking a poached egg doesn't require white vinegar or even a saucepan, as it's best prepared in the microwave. ‌ She explained: "This is seriously the easiest way to poach an egg, and so much quicker too - all you need is a mug and a microwave. We want to show you that healthy eating can be quick and easy too". This comes after the success of Mary Berry's 'easy' dauphinoise potatoes recipe, made with just six ingredients. ‌ Whilst it may sound peculiar, preparing an egg in the microwave is an excellent method for achieving the ideal poached egg as it requires less than a minute to complete, reports the Express. Dannii noted: "Microwaves tend to cook things much quicker, which is perfect for those with less time in the kitchen. You also don't usually need to do any stirring, which is perfect if you need something you can just put in and leave". ‌ Attempting this straightforward technique means you needn't fret about achieving the correct temperature or timing whilst cooking, while still managing to create a perfectly soft poached egg with an ideal yolk. You will need An egg 130ml of room temperature water A mug A plate A spoon Toothpick or knife Paper towels Method To start, add the water to a mug, then carefully crack the egg into the water. Use a toothpick or sharp knife to carefully pierce the egg yolk a couple of times to prevent the egg from exploding in the microwave. Pop the mug in the microwave, cover the top with a plate, and then cook the egg on a high-temperature setting for 30 seconds. Take off the plate and check if the whites are fully cooked and set. The cooking time will depend on your microwave and you may need to experiment a bit to get the poached egg perfectly cooked. If it needs more time, simply pop the egg back in the microwave and cook for 10 seconds at a time until it's fully cooked. Dannii states: "Once you have experimented a little with making this in your own microwave and getting the cooking times right, you will have perfect eggs every time". Once the poached egg is cooked, use a spoon to lift the egg from the mug and place it on a piece of kitchen roll. Your perfectly cooked poached egg is now ready to serve for breakfast on a bagel, a piece of buttered toast or even on a bacon sarnie.
