Perhaps Texas A&M has something on southwest plants?

Is it a vine type plant like a morning glory?

We have Stinging Nettles here that leave a itching rash and look a lot like a common herb...

We found out what it is. He’s reacted as if Mexican Petunias were poison ivy.

I looked up Mexican Petunias in
the Botanical Dermatology Database and nothing comes up. but a search for petunia (Ruellia)(Acanthus or Ruellia family) has quite a listing of plants that are known to cause problems
Many species, especially those in the genera Acanthus L., Anthacanthus Nees, and Barleria L. are thorny and hence capable of inflicting mechanical injury. Other species have been reported to produce contact dermatitis but the causative agents remain unidentified.
