Why giant hogweed is a problem in Blaina
On Blaina 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. Blaina sits in the Ebbw Fach valley in Blaenau Gwent, with terraced streets and former colliery land.
