Poison Hemlock

In a effort not to kill it , does anyone know of a benefit from having this plant ? Surely it does something ?
Seems like biomass might be one of them .

Of course there are benefits to any living thing, but not poison hemlock in relation to humans and other animals. Intoxication of even a small amount can result in death.. usually from ingestion, but also from inhalation (while burning), or even skin contact.  I found a small stand last year behind a pond on another property that I was caretaking. I had planned to pasture my pigs there, but that idea was abandoned upon discovering poison hemlock. I removed what I could, (completely covered up, and heavy rubber gloves) in an attempt to interrupt the reproductive cycle. The property has since changed owners, but I made sure to make the new owner aware of the danger, and wished him luck!

Thanks Ted,
I have my finger on the 2-4-d trigger here.
I'm trying to find some specifics on the benefits.  
I figured someone on here could list some & talk me off the herbicide ledge.

I wouldn’t recommend any poison, but respect your choice either way. Poison Hemlock is classified as a biennial, and I figured manual removal (with extreme safety precautions) would be the best approach to interrupt reseeding. If the coverage isn’t overwhelming, at least go through and hack off the flowering tops. (If you can reach! Some of the plants I took out were ten feet tall..) Best of luck to you, and PLEASE don’t underestimate the toxicity of this deadly plant..
