burnt by parsnip sap

Hi, out in the garden last Sunday (really bright lovely weather) and got really bad burns from removing a few parsnip leaves. I googled for more info and it seems that wild parsnip in America is noted for it, it seems to react with sunlight (similar to Giant Hogweed). Has anyone else been burned by cultivated parsnip sap? If not, please be aware as it's really painful.
