Reply:NOT in England, not in any book or conversation I have ever had concerning my lifelong interest in plants and native flora. Poison Ivy is restricted to the American continent. `Rashes`can be difficult to attribute causes to, but here are some possibilities. Primulas and Primrose varieties, Stinging Nettles, possibly Stags Horn Sumac (Rhus typhinus), the sap of many garden plants(when pruning or clearing) Daphne, Aconites, Hyacinth. Many plant pollens also cause allergic reaction and skin irritation. Search for the Royal Horticultural Society - potentially harmful garden plants, masses of information available.
