Ok here in So. California in the recently opened burn area we have what is called the poodle bush. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turricula_(plant) It is everywhere. And it is in the way of a few caches. I didnt know what it was and so here I am to say STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!!!! It is alot like poison oak. You get a rash, swell up, itch, and are just miserable. I had some left on my boots and put them on a few days later and got it around my eyes. STAY AWAY!!!!!! It is on my legs, arms, stomach, and now my face!
