What are the differences between Queen Anne's lace and wild parsnip in terms of appearance, habitat, and potential risks to humans and animals?
Queen Anne's lace and wild parsnip are both white-flowered plants that can be found in fields and along roadsides.

Queen Anne's lace is generally considered safe, while wild parsnip can cause skin irritation and blisters when touched, especially in sunlight.
Do parsnips need to be peeled before eating?
I actually read the categories under which your question was listed. Before I did that, I would have noted that I had a rather dreadful previous spouse who wouldn't eat a parsnip to save his life (not that this was one of his more wretched qualities, it was just silly). Then I would have said: You can eat them raw, but they taste like wood. When you cook them, you bring out a very subtle flavor well worth knowing (and in complete contradiction to the parsnipian theory of my ex). But we are talking rabbits here. You are lucky that I am too tired to reach for the multiple ex/rabbit jokes I could be making. As for the wild or the domestic pet varieties: There seems to be great debate on this issue. One of the main factors, I found, involves the difference between the wild and domestic parsnip, believe it or not. Wild parsnip seems to have many toxic properties, the most known and perhaps the worst of which is that it causes phytophotodermatitis. You don't want this, neither does your rabbit. Store bought parsnip does not contain the same chemicals as does wild. Rabbits probably like it, much that they are notoriously fond of its relative in the root, the carrot. Some people prefer not to offer it, raw or cooked, due to its high sugar content. Other than avoiding wild parsnip and its brother in problems vegetable, wild celery, as for store bought parsnip, the choice remains yours.
Does wild parsnip burns spread?
Yes, wild parsnip burns can spread if the sap from the plant comes into contact with skin and is then exposed to sunlight. The sap contains compounds called furanocoumarins, which can cause a severe skin reaction known as phytophotodermatitis. This can lead to blistering and painful burns that may worsen with further sun exposure. It’s important to handle wild parsnip with care and wear protective clothing to avoid skin contact.

How do you tell the difference between a wild parsnip rash and poison ivy rash?
Wild parsnip rash typically appears as a burning or stinging sensation followed by a blistering, red rash, often accompanied by dark brown or purplish discoloration. This reaction usually occurs after skin exposure to the plant's sap and is exacerbated by sunlight. In contrast, poison ivy rash presents as itchy, red, and raised blisters that may appear in streaks or patches, typically developing 12 to 72 hours after contact. The key difference lies in the timing and appearance; wild parsnip is sun-sensitive and can cause skin discoloration, while poison ivy causes a more localized, itchy reaction.
How can I safely and effectively get rid of wild parsnip in my garden?

Use a shovel or hoe to carefully dig up the plants, making sure to remove the entire root system. Dispose of the plants in a sealed bag to prevent spreading seeds.
