Why giant hogweed is a problem in Dudley
On Dudley 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. Dudley's limestone quarrying and former ironworking heritage left extensive derelict land, and knotweed now spreads through the old Dudley Canal tunnels and the disused railway lines around the Black Country.
