    that Americans don't have Devil's Club. God I hate it. More than any other plant in the world.

    Its fucking sharp as hell, with this annoying poison that makes them itch for days. The back of my hand is covered in red dots because of it.

    It looks like it has herpes.

    But we DO have burn hazel ... which causes similar symptoms. I get a really bad red rash that itches like hell if I touch the plant.

    I reckon we have it. At least that's what my dad always called this stuff that sounds like the same thing, plus he lived around those parts and I haven't really heard anyone around here call it that.
