Clover

Clover is a type of weed and while it's way prettier than the typical dandelion its biggest downside is the bees it attracts.  I stepped on one earlier this year at our swimming pool in bare feet and wow was that painful.  Not only does the barbed stinger hurt, but it releases a chemical called melittin, and that venom causes a burning sensation.  More venom is released for up to a minute, so getting the stinger out quickly is important.  We kill clover at home using Spectracide Weed Stop For Lawns and I wish the pool would do the same.
