This plant stinks, in more ways than one
Pima County and the Regional Flood Control District (District) want to warn the public about the spread of a noxious and invasive weed species taking root in the community. Mishandling this plant can cause severe breathing problems that may require hospitalization.
Although humorously named, the stinknet plant is no joke to public health or the environment. Stinknet (Oncosiphon piluliferum) can cause severe skin and respiratory allergic reactions and when dry, stinknet burns easily.

Fospice, also known as foster hospice, is not for everyone. When you’re caring for a pet at the end of its life, you never know how long that dog or cat will have. That's why Pima Animal Care Center relies on wonderful people like Erin Brown.
Brown has several fospice pets in her home. And while fostering a hospice pet may not be for you, you can help people like Brown provide a safe, comfortable, end-of-life experience to animals and get them out of loud, stressful kennels by making a donation to Friends of Pima Animal Care Center.
