Wasn't this a storyline on House just a few weeks ago?

It was definitely in the plot of The Dying Gaul... I could never forget a movie featuring a bearded Peter Sarsgaard fucking a guy on a conference room table. mmmm Mmm!

Yeah, while I understand that this might be a concern, I really don't think that hemlock is the only reason for hospitalization after that nightmare. It sounds like when people get pissed because though go blind drinking moonshine.

Good thing I avoid carrots in general. (Minor-but-irritating allergy.)

I grew up in Hemlock, MI (no joke). I knew I was right to avoid eating my vegetables as a kid...

"Masquerade?" Hell! Look at pictures of hemlock root on Google images----looks to be a carrot cousin, right down to the lacy foliage on top and the conical root below the ground.

This came up in a recent episode of House also.

They remind me of parsnips. Fortunately I hate parsnips.

So, how are we supposed to tell them apart? That would be relevant information here. I hear they look similar, but smell quite different.

I thought this was common knowledge since the days of the Oregon Trail.

Not that any of us kiddies remember much besides tipping over wagons and shooting every buffalo on sight.

Don't eat carrot greens, for starters.
