These have started popping up eeeeeverywhere in my yard. I am concerned because I read where the leaves can cause phytophtodermatitis. I have looked at several sites and the only one that says this is Wikipedia. Quote- ".. the leaves of the wild carrot can cause phytophotodermatitis, so caution should also be used when handling the plant." I wouldn't care but they are growing in the fenced area where my dogs frequently are. Since I haven't seen anything thing else that says this, I am wondering if it's true or not. I remember this picture going viral on facebook of something that looked similarsimilar to Daucus Carota last year that caused phytophtodermatitis and it was being mistaken for Daucus Carota because the white flowers they produce look extremely similar.
So my question is, is it true that the leaves can cause phytophtodermatitis?
