common rue contact can cause photosensitivity and blistering..  I think my husband may have brushed this on our hike and then put sunscreen on the backs of his hands. Both of them were covered in little blisters after that day and we couldn't figure out what he was reacting to... fortunately it wasn't itchy or painful.

"Ruta graveolens" is a species of "Ruta" grown as an ornamental plant and herb. It is native to the Balkan Peninsula. It is now grown throughout the world in gardens, especially for its bluish leaves, and sometimes for its tolerance of hot and dry soil conditions.
