Doe some reason this reminds me of a story a friend once told me about his dad.

His dad had an encounter with some poison ivy, with the usual results. Some of his fraternity brothers convinced him that it was possible to become completely immune to poison ivy by picking a few leaves, putting them between two slices of white bread, and eating them.

He was in the hospital for a long time...

I have no idea why the word "doe" came out when I typed "for', but it's probably a clue about how the rest of this day will go...

One of my uncles was out hunting in the woods and needed to use the bathroom. After finishing, he grabbed a handful of nearby leaves to wipe up. Yep, you guessed it!

He had to be carried out of the woods on a homemade stretcher.
This still comes up at every family reunion.
