On Sat, 2 May 1998, Nancy wrote a delightful story to the FML about taking
her Caesar outside for a walk, and then asked:

To be on the safe side, I'd keep the ferrets from ingesting any outside
plants.  Dandelions are okay, but milkweed sap can make one very miserable.
Watch out especially for thistles, nettles, poison ivy, and poison oak.  If
he gets any of the last three on him, he'll also get it on you.
