Alaska has no poisonous snakes so they had to come up with other creative ways to kill you. This is Monks Hood - there are other names but this is the one I recall. Choose the flower to add to you salad or brew a tea and you will be dead in about 6 hours. There is also Devils Club it is abundant and very nasty and Cows Parsnip is even more abundant. I brushed against some while wearing shorts and had three unpleasant and very inflamed sores that lasted more than a week.
