Is this Queen Anne’s Lace or Poison Hemlock?


I am clearing out an overgrown garden is PA and started pulling this before I noticed the purple stem. I was wearing gloves but short sleeves. Is it toxic through skin contact? Anything I need to do other than wash my skin with soap and water?

    This appears to be neither, but I’m not sure what it is! Hopefully someone recognizes it!

    I believe it is wormwood, Artemisia absinthium

    Mugwort? I’m in Pa too and it’s invasive

    There’s a very good article called “Poison Hemlock vs Queen Anne’s Lace, How to Tell the Difference” on The Spruce website. (thespruce.com)

    I think that’s Poison Hemlock, and you need to protect yourself while removing it.

    Definitely not queen Anne’s lace – by the red streaks I am going to say poison hemlock
