It is a highly invasive species in certain parts of the world and is known by various synonyms such as ragweed, bitterweed, hay fever weed, and Saint Louis feverfew. One of its common synonyms, ragweed, is due to its ability to produce a lot of pollen which is responsible for allergies and hay fever symptoms in humans. The Saint Louis feverfew is another synonym that relates to its use in traditional medicine to cure fevers. Despite these medicinal properties, the plant has become a nuisance due to its invasive nature, leading to governments and environmentalists creating strict laws and guidelines for its control and eradication.
