Plants that can make you itch
For most, knowledge of hazardous plants is limited to the phrase, “leaves of three, leave them be.” However, despite widespread awareness of a few common culprits, many casual outdoor enthusiasts may find themselves with an itchy souvenir following an encounter with a flower or shrub.
While poison ivy is the most common cause of contact dermatitis in the United States, a host of other common plants are capable of producing skin reactions. (Learn more about poison ivy, oak, and sumac)
Your backyard can be home to a variety of potentially hazardous plants. The following homegrown crops have been known to cause skin reactions:
Strawberry
Garlic
Tomato
Comfrey
Borage
Rose hips
Hot peppers
Tulip bulbs
Daffodil bulbs
Hyacinth bulbs
In addition, combined exposure to citrus fruit and sunlight should be avoided. Lemons, limes, clementines, oranges, and grapefruit all contain light-sensitizing chemicals that can cause a rash.
Avoid rash decisions — Don't touch these plants!
