Inquiry regarding plants that cause skin irritation

[Green_Manelishi]

My wife has developed a burning, bright red rash/blister on her foot after walking barefoot in the yard for a few minutes one day. What's odd is that she frequently walks barefoot but this is the first time she's had this experience. Can any SBers point us at a website that has pictures of the various skin reactions to plants?

It could also be a reaction to a chemical in the yard (fertilizer, pesticide, etc), or even a fungal thing (i.e. athletes foot). All of these appear as rashes.

My advice - if it doesn't go away in a few days, or becomes painful, see your doctor.
