POISONOUS THINGS THAT KILL YOU
Clue for Week #3:
Staff member Mike went away on vacation to Cape Cod. He and all his buddies thought it would be a great idea to have a bonfire on the beach after a long day of sun, sand, and swimming. Being city boys not from the Cape, they weren't that knowledgeable in building fires, having learned the little they knew from teen beach movies. Unfortunately for them, they thought some nearby plants, growing as a low shrub, would make a great addition to the bonfire, along with some driftwood. Little did they know that the plant leaves would emit something called urushiol, which when it attaches itself to the skin would cause itching, swelling, rashes, and oozing blisters. And they had breathed it in all night.
It wasn't a pretty sight. Mike was last seen being carried off on a stretcher to the Cape Cod Medical Center, yelling (in a garbled voice due to all the blisters in his esophagus), "But I wasn't finished roasting my hot dog!!!". Not a fun way to end a vacation. 
What was the poisonous thing they breathed in?
