Are there any plants potentially poisonous in North America that are sedative or hypnotics absorbed through skin?
I wondered if touching a plant by accident could get me sleepy? I have to brush by plants walking uphill and some of them have released juice there was one funny spiky one that gave juice and accidentally got their wet leaves and flowers on me when I fell and swear I was more sleepy than I have ever been in a few hours. Didnt smell strong though but I rarely get tired so I thought that was strange. Id sure like to avoid anything. If so which species.
I dont want fall into the wrong plants yuck.
Thanks.
(Yes I know all about poison oak so dont bother explaining this one looks like to avoid and not sedating)

Bugleweed is a sedative, but no spikes.
I can be of better assistance if you will provide these details....
What state are you in?
Where is the plant found?....wooded area?...wetland?
What color are the flowers?
Spiky?.....appears spiky/thorny?....did it actually "poke" you?

Had you been drinking before you fell in the bushes?
