check your laws, endangered species list /reedited
hmm I tried to give the link but it seems not to go thru.
Anyhow it was listed in September 1988 on endangered list.
It was mainly used for lungs and as an antiviral agent.
It can produce a rash in those sensitive to it.
so it is best to do a test on self before using a tincture.
There are very few areas that do not have it on the state endangered list,
and many of the ones that do not, are seeking to list it as well.
So to avoid potential law breaking by picking it yourself,
I would suggest you buy it instead...
(or check the laws within that state.)
be sure to do a sensitive test..
also there may be other herbs that can meet your needs as well,
have you checked into them ?
what is your reason for wanting desert parsley particularly?
