TBH I can't really think of anything really poisonous that I have touched, maybe lead-tin solder or something like that. Touched depleted uranium before which I'm sure people probably think is bad, but thats perfectly safe.

Raid, maybe? Nothing like a lovely concoction of various kinds of toxins and who knows what else.
Various household chemicals can be quite toxic, though I've only touched them.

I generally don't like to deal with things that are poisonous, much less eat them. :)

In terms of wildlife, probably hornets. Sucks to be "touched" by one of their stingers when they're all pissed off.

I've gotten sumac 2 times. I am highly allergic, and it hits me like poison ivy X 100. It grows all around my house and a couple times I was weeding and didn't notice it. Both times took a steroid injection to clear it up.

Lots of chemicals and drugs. Most dangerous by contact would probably be 32P labeled nucleotides.

Poison oak, that jacks me up pretty good and who knows what I've been exposed to over in Iraq. I have a paper in my medical records that pretty much says the Doc's dont know what I've been exposed to or what I could have caught, it's a great catch all if I ever get sick and blame the military so they have to pay for it :p

I've touched vipers, black widows, scorpions, centipedes, and sea snakes - all while alive. I can't even count or begin to list the chemicals I've touched that I shouldn't have...

I took a LOT of chemistry courses in college. I wouldn't have a clue which of the deadly substances I've handled was the deadliest.

Off the top of my head, HF - we use it in the lab to cleave peptides off of the resin we synthesized it on. I'm sure I've used other dangerous stuff there too.

I don't really track my poisonous touching... Come to think of it, I probably have never really touched anything poisonous like a snake.. I've touched radioactive material but um, that wasn't dangerous. :-/ (Half life of the stuff was like so low)

My ex. I won't go into too much detail, but it involved a LOT of vomiting one night . . .

I need a new set of exes.
