Nah, media frenzy, I read about it ten years ago in the WaPo


They had a little series on plants and stuff and was astonished to read one day about Hogweed. Also mentioned it is carcinogenic too. (maybe a knock on effect from the photo sensitivity)

Might have seen one a long time ago but before I read the article. I've kept my eye out for them ever since and knew to report them but haven't seen any.
