On Pastinaca?

Be careful, that plant has a phototoxin which will blister your skin if you get the plant juice on you and then expose it to sunlight. Don't go into Pastinaca without long sleeves and gloves.

Pastinaca...
How lucky am I?! I spent the whole evening looking for these in these flowers without long sleeves and gloves and my skin haven't blister! And I checked and it really was that plant you're talking about.
