IIRC a lot of it has at some point been sprayed with super toxic herbicide to try and kill it off.

Don't quote me on that though I'm just quoting a Wendigoon video from memory

In fact edibility is often the reason these things are so invasive, it's why American Signal crayfish are over in the UK.
