I guess it's a weed? I'm not sure, but I'm really allergic to it. I was curious if anyone knows what it is?

Chernobyl is Russian for "wormwood" and in the bible it says that during the apocalypse that wormwood will fall from the sky!!

Wormwood, also called artemesia has been used for centuries, since 1600 BC. It has a natural repellant for insects and can be used as a garden plant to repell mosquitos and other anoying insects from the yard. As a tea it can be used as a worming agent for animals.
