"And the result of learning to respect and honor her is, in my experience, that she ceases to be "poison." Actually, there is nothing "poisonous" in this plant; the allergic reaction is something we create ourselves, through disharmony. YMMV."
Speaking from enough personal experience, one can honor and make peace with a plant, a mosquito or a crazed, serial killer, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee a life free of allergic responses, bites or death by serial. I started having strong allergic responses to the oils in poison oak before I knew it existed i.e. when I moved here from Canada, and it hits me like a rash from hell. I had no fear or dishonor towards the plant, it just is what it is and I have been told that a small amt of its' oil could cause reaction in a large population (I'd give you numbers but I don't have 'em). Many plants like mushrooms, poison oak, hemlock, datura, etc. have known toxic elements to them. Could you eat an amanita mushroom that you honor and believe to not be toxic and survive the experience? If so, please invite me to witness, because I am skeptical.
