Oh I forgot to mention. There is a low-growing plant with foot-long narrow purple & green leaves that cause insane itching when it touches the skin. We call it an oyster plant. I had some in my yard and learned to wear sleeves while gardening because of it. It grows wild from what I've seen and is very hard to get fid of because of the trailing underground root system. The tiny blisters and itching, thankfully, go away rather quickly, but stay away from it just the same.
