Why giant hogweed is a problem in Camborne
On Camborne properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. Camborne's tin mining heritage left extensive disturbed spoil tips and disused mineral railway lines, where knotweed has become entrenched around old engine houses and the South Crofty mine site.
