A backyard "weed" has injured several children in Colorado Springs. It is commonly found in backyards all over, but has been condemned in the state as a "noxious" plant. It is called Myrtle Spurge.
The kids were just playing "Pilgrim", and a milky white substance from the plant which left them with severe burns to their faces
Thank GOD it wasn't more serious... I couldn't imagine if they had ingested the liquid, which is poisonous!
