 Primary method of prevention is to remove the plant.

 Cutting and mowing hemlock can cause them to

resprout and emit toxic fumes if they have already
matured.
 Don’t burn these plants because can trigger asthma
symptoms and risk of developing a reaction.
 Also use herbicides to kill hemlock. But they are
useless after hemlock have sprouted flowers. The
best time to use herbicides in late fall or early spring.
Before interacting with poison hemlock, wear gloves
face mask and other protective cloths to prevent any
adverse reaction.
After removing hemlock, place the plant in plastic bag
before throwing in trash to avoid contamination
Hemlock poisoning can be fatal, and there is no
antidote. Symptoms can be showing as early as
30 minutes. Severity of poisoning depends on
how much hemlock is in your system and how
toxic the plant was.
