- The Hemlock weed grows in Ireland; luckily enough it is seldom seen because it is deadly poison. It grows among the grass and animals are often poisoned by it, there is also a hemlock tree that grows in America. Before killing you the hemlock weed paralyses you.
- Nettles are very good for young ducks or turkeys. People that own ducks gather much nettles and cut them up and boil them with some Indian Meal. Some people also like boiled nettles to eat.
