Down South Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks nasty. Could be a spider bite, might see 2 triangular puncture marks at the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I got my Giant Hogweed burn strimming around a release pen for the electric fence at Wynnstay about 6 years ago. It has stopped hurting now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
