Brushing the stems or leaves of this plant will leave you with an uncomfortable burning rash for a few hours. I've also heard that it can be used like bee venom, to treat arthritic pain. Please consider adding this spotting to the Toxic and Medicinal Plants of California mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/19606114
