I only  grow the native Veratrum viride but I did rub my eyes after planting 
it  and was very sorry afterwards. 


Nancy...I've had similar experiences with Hyacinth bulbs...and  Euphorbia is 
certainly one which can cause a reaction similar to poison ivy when  the sap 
contacts skin...and Rue, as well.
 
Are there other plants where it would be wise to wear gloves when  handling?
