  It’s difficult to eat your way through an invasive species. Himalayan Balsam is also edible but it’s thriving in the UK.

  In fact edibility is often the reason these things are so invasive, it’s why American Signal crayfish are over in the UK.

  IIRC a lot of it has at some point been sprayed with super toxic herbicide to try and kill it off.

  Don’t quote me on that though I’m just quoting a Wendigoon video from memory

  Because Crake is saving it for some special project at Rejoov.

    I hate (and am terrified) that I understood this reference. That series is horrifying.
