PLANTS CAUSING SKIN IRRITATIONS. 



The susceptibility of different individuals towards irritant 

 juices of certain plants may be as different as the individuals 

 themselves. That is to say, the juices of some plants may cause 

 serious Dermatitis in a number of people, while others may not 

 be affected in the slightest degree. Curiously enough all people 

 alike seem to be affected by the sting of the common nettles; 

 while the most common of all skin irritating plants, Poison Ivy, 

 does not seem to affect all persons; even those susceptible may be 

 affected in varying degrees. This peculiar tendency may be 

 termed idiosyncrasy. Some persons cannot partake of straw- 

 berries, asparagus and other fruits or vegetables without their 

 being troubled by Urticaria or like skin rashes. This is their 

 idiosyncrasy, their peculiarity of constitution.
