Why giant hogweed is a problem in Tynemouth
On Tynemouth 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. Tynemouth's coastal cliffs and old fish quay along the mouth of the River Tyne left disturbed ground near the priory and railway embankments where Japanese knotweed has taken root in the town's green spaces.
