Not far from Cape Arkona on Ruegen grows giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), also called Hercules perennial. The plant can cause severe phototoxic reactions in humans. Responsible are the furanocoumarins contained in the plant, which react in connection with sunlight. This can result in burns, wounds and even severe circulatory shock.
