Plants And Animals That We Shouldn't Ever Touch

74. Poison Ivy

Want to know the quickest way to ruin a nice stroll in the woods? Accidentally walking into a bunch of poison ivy. It sucks! This nasty plant houses a compound called urushiol, which irritates your skin soon after brushing against it. The soreness is often referred to as “contact dermatitis,” and it can stick around for over three weeks. Oh, and the resin clings to your clothes, too.

Charles Phillips Remembering a song about poison ivy from my childhood with the phrase: "you can look, but you better not touch". I made sure that my children heard that song.
