Why giant hogweed is a problem in Omagh
On Omagh 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 Omagh, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Strule and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Gortin Glens and Ulster American Folk Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Fintona and Dromore, are where we most often find established stands.
