Bear - No, what is that?

All - thanks for trying to help. I have a poison ivy type rash on my face, my eyes are puffy and ears hurt so I’m now putting whatever that is in the poisonous category. I’m still tasting skunk even though I just nibbled a bit of it yesterday so have been brushing with baking soda and peroxide. Hubby dug up the entire area and disposed of the dirt. It was just that group of plants that smelled skunky so it wasn’t skunk spray. Hubby was itchy and ran to the shower. I put our clothes in the wash and will run them through a couple times to make sure. The rest of the seed packets are in the garbage. Never again. Ferry-Morse will forever be on my ban list.

Skunk cabbage, at least that is the kind we have growing in the yard. Nasty smelling stuff, also toxic if eaten.

If you are having symptoms of poisoning you might want to think about going to an urgent care facility.

Ok here is another one.

This is the Dieffenbachia. If you ate this forget about urgent care and hie thyself to the emergency room on the double.

Actually, I’d save those seeds as evidence if I were you. If FM is putting seeds in their packets that cause that kind of a reaction, then let them know you have more than enough grounds for a lawsuit.

(Whether you actually follow through is up to you, but just the threat might be enough to get them to shape up.)
