Poison ivy and poison oak are usualy found in or near woods and in shady places where sting weed can also be found in ditches along roads or the edges of feilds where there is no shade.

I hiked around Europe when I was younger (Germany, England, France,Belgium and Luxembourg) and also in the field when in the Army (Germany) I do not remember running into any.

We don't have the really horrible plants (or animals) that other places do. Most of our dangerous plants have to be eaten to do any harm. But there are a few that can be anywhere from unpleasant (eg nettles) to very unpleasant (eg giant hogweed) to dangerous (eg monkshood, aka wolfbane) from just touching them.

I can't even count how many times I have been stung by a nettle

My sister fell into a clump of nettles when she was a child. It was the middle of summer and she was wearing shorts and a T shirt. She looked as bad as she probably felt.

Idk why he did it but stuff like that would always happen to us. When playing hide and seek we use to climb 20ft trees and then shoot nerf guns up there. Luckily someone only fell once but it was only 3 feet up

I never was like this. I never climbed trees or did crazy things. It was like being in prison.
