Although in a previous life I used to rent two allotments, I haven't done any gardening for years. However, as an advocate of all things naked, I will publish this.

I understand that this issue was discussed on Gardeners' Question Time and elicited the following response from one of the panel:

I understand there are some plants that can cause nasty rashes after contact the skin, with or without UV light.
