Poison oak isn't really a thing out where she lives, is it? I don't think it particularly matches her description on the dandelion part, and I'm pretty sure it's more of a West Coast plant, but MAN that would be funny as hell.
(For people who haven't had the pleasure, poison oak is an irritatingly common plant that, when touched, gets a not particularly obvious oil on whatever touched it... and is easy to then spread to anything that touches THAT. Said oil causes a nasty, itchy, unpleasant rash, and if you happened to touch the plant with your hands it's quite easy to get it all over the goddamn place. Not dangerous at all but a huge itchy nusiance for a few days).
Stapphy the queen of melodrama would probably assume she'd developed Ultimate Skin Death COVID or something.
