'I Was In Agony': Call For Giant Hogweed Action

At least 10 people - including a seven-year-old girl - have said that an accidental brush against giant hogweed has led to large rashes and blisters. Schoolgirl Annie Challinor went to A&E after coming into contact with the plant in Salford and has a large scar on her arm. Dr Mark Spencer of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland said the plant is "at its most dangerous in the summer months when it is hot and sunny".
