Be careful - better dig rather than pull. When wildlife trusts remove these from their land they wear protective gloves. Nothing to get anxious about but they are very poisonous to cattle. On the other hand they are the only flood plant of the pretty little cinnabar moth...you can't win 'em all!

Thanks for posting question as I have one identical to this. Wish I'd pulled it out sooner but then again I usually atempt such things with bare hands so pleased I got the top quality advice from others in the know so thanks to everyone who replied as well!

its only poisonous if you eat it, some people can be sensitive to the touch with the plant and it will cause a rash, best to wear gloves just in case, ive handled it (not knowing) and i was fine.
