Katy, be very careful of the giant hogeeed which disguises itself as Queen Anne's Lace. The stems are fuzzy and purple spotted. The brush of this monster against your skin can cause blisters and sores that can last for years and make you photosensitive as well... better to leave the whole dam nnnb plant world to itself than take a chance with this...
Bless you. I hear your warning. Thankfully we have no giant hogweed in the garden, just a lot of recalcitrant brambles with thorns that like to embed themselves in my fingers. x
