Cow-itch

Mucuna pruriens, or velvet bean, is a vigorous tropical climbing vine best grown outdoors in warm climates with a sturdy trellis or support structure. It thrives in average, well-drained soil with regular watering and benefits from full sun to partial shade. Be aware that the seed pods are covered in fine, irritating hairs — wear gloves when handling — though the plant has notable traditional medicinal uses.
