Yes! I broke out in a rash very much like poison ivy. After talking to several people, one mentioned pokeweed. I looked it up on the internet only to find out that was the "weed" I had been pulling out of my yard for the past week! The only thing I can figure out is that the birds have carried it in.

Can juniper bushes cause rashes similar to poison ivy?
My wife and I planted 6 Junipers a couple of days ago. Her arms are covered with a rash where mine are fine, both having wore short sleeve shirts. I'm not familiar with what poison ivy rash looks like, so I couldn't say if this is similar. Both of us are fair-skin with freckles. She's definitely a redhead, where you can see a tinge of red in my beard. I don't know if this makes her more sensitive, or not.
