[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]These plants contain a wide variety of poisons and symptoms may range from a mild stomach ache, skin rash, swelling of the mouth and throat to involvement of the heart, kidneys or other organs. Some plants may not cause toxicity unless ingested in large quantities:[/FONT]

A brief brushing against a poisonous plant won't do too much damage. Contact must be made with the plant's colorless oil, called urushiol. Oil is released when the plant is cut, crushed, stepped on, sat on, grabbed, rolled on, or kicked. It is also released if the brush is burned. Once released, the toxic oil penetrates the skin, and a rash appears 12-48 hours after exposure. The rash typically progresses from small bumps into enlarged, itchy blisters. No body part is immune, although areas most often irritated are the face, arms, hands, and genitals.
