Why giant hogweed is a problem in Bandon
On Bandon 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. In Bandon, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Bandon River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Kilbrittain coast and Innishannon woods, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Innishannon and Kinsale, are where we most often find established stands.
