Why giant hogweed is a problem in Porth
On Porth 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. Porth is where the Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach meet, so weeds carried down both rivers settle on its banks and back gardens.
