At first, Murphy said she “didn’t think anything of it.” (Charlotte Murphy)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

WARNING: ARTICLE CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES<\/span><\/p>\n

A Vermont woman who received the equivalent of second-degree chemical burns to her legs after falling into a wild parsnip plant is warning others about the dangers of the seemingly harmless herbage.<\/p>\n

Around the first of July, Charlotte Murphy, of Essex, Vermont, was traveling to the southern part of the state for her internship with a local artist. When she stopped on the side of the road, she lost her footing and fell into the plant, breaking it, causing the sap from the wild parsnip plant to come in contact with her bare legs.<\/p>\n
