I was weeding this morning and came across a plant that sent out very nasty vibes. It looked "wrong". I found out what it was. Black Henbane, part of the Nightshade family. Very toxic. 1/3 
I have removed 5 of them now, wearing protective gear (long sleeves, long pants, rubber boots, gloves). But now I am itchy, especially my arms. Psychosomatic? Also, why do I have nightshade in my yard? I definitely didn't plant it... 2/3
I know it is invasive in parts of the western US. Has it become prevalent in southern Alberta as well? If you see these in your yard, you may want to carefully remove them. Very toxic to humans and animals!
