A character is in a very nature oriented setting, with all kinds of wild plants surrounding them. They're doing whatever it is they planned to do, and at some point pick up or walk into an ordinary looking plant. After a small amount of contact with it, someone who is more knowledgeable about nature will casually inform them "That's poison ivy" (or poison oak, the plants have the same toxin).
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* In ''[[NCIS]]'', while investigating a murder in a national park McGee has to search a patch of poison ivy for a murder weapon. Tony recognizes what the plant is, but decides not to tell him.
** To be fair, Tony had been telling McGee about searching in the outdoors, when McGee went off on him for treating him like a probie, and assures Tony that he learned plenty in Boy Scouts.
** in another episode, Tony Dinozzo unknowingly gets poison oak while looking for evidence in a case, where a naval petty officer was shot by a sniper with a MO similar to the TriState Sniper, in their sniper's nest covered in the stuff.
* Stuart and Ann's camping misadventure on ''[[L.A. Law]]''. Remember the TP next time.
