==Special Precautions of Bishop's Weed==
* Be careful not to confuse bishop’s weed (Ammi majus) with its more commonly used relative, [[Khella]] (Ammi visnaga). The two species do contain some of the same chemicals and have some similar effects in the body. But Bishop's weed is more commonly used for skin conditions, and khella is usually used for heart and lung conditions.
