In the U.S. there are three that commonly cause skin rashes Poison Oak, Poison Sumac and Poison Ivy.
Another to avoid are Nettles.
Though if your in Australia, be very careful of all plant life and take a guide with you.
There is a tree that has a leaf with spears of silica that if the tips break off in your skin it is fatal.
The worse thing I see a rock hound do is LICK the rocks. Do not do such a thing unless said rock has been cleaned.
Myself, I wont even lick a piece of agate in the field.
Be safe and use a spray bottle.

Yes, holiday cactus plants [Schlumbergera and Zygocactus spp] are poisonous. So not one of their body parts are meant to be chewed, eaten or swallowed.
