I came into contact with a plant having broad green and white leaves with smooth green stems and thorns.  The thorns ripped through my shirt, leaving a three inch scratch down the back of my right tricep.  Soon, the skin erupted in an angry red mass of superating blisters.  The "pus" was a thick amber fluid.  Everywhere is went, the skin further erupted.  Within a matter of days, even my fingers and the palms of my hands were showing signs of the "infection".  It took a Prednisone shot, and additional pills to clear it up.  For years after blisters would pop up on parts of my body.  Not sure why, either, but a new case which just started yesterday will be sending me to a physician to get some answers.
