New Poisonous Plant in the Angeles National Forest

Look out!!  The pretty flowers that Sarah and I were frolicking though at the Chilao Campground are poisonous.  The Turricula Plant AKA Poodle-Dog bush usually springs up after a wild fire.  They give off a poison similar to Poison Oak.  I some how came out not getting a rash but Sarah wasn't so lucky.  It seems you will break out with a rash or even hives and it's supposed to last 2 weeks.  Also, people hiking the PCT should keep an eye out for this plant.  Read More Here

The pretty (evil) purple flower all over near our campground.  Don't be scared, just don't touch it.
