The weed has a turpentine-like odor and can cause serious breathing problems as well as severe skin rashes. Arizona Native Plant Society officials said stinknet explosively spread in Maricopa County during the wet fall and winter seasons of 2016, 2018 and 2019. Monument officials are asking visitors not to walk near — or step on — the flowering weed to avoid spreading it.
