When we see a sitcom or a funny movie take its characters into the wilderness, chances are good that it'll feature a scene where a character casually cleans themselves off with a leaf only to discover that it was poison ivy all along.
And in addition to being a good challenge for the production's makeup department, this trope serves as a good reminder that the lovely sights we see in nature aren't always as innocent as they seem.
Because as one musician and her friend recently learned, poison ivy is far from the only plant that looks deceptively normal but can ruin your whole day.
