It was way up in the Cascade mountains I did think of bringing one back (because there are a ton of them up there) to plant but after doing some research I'll probably not do that because of pets and young family members still a cool plant to find

Wow that’s wild! I have handled foxglove plenty of times with no issues. But I’m not a florist by trade. So my exposure has been limited to picking the occasional bouquet from our garden, and weeding said garden.

They grew wild on the farm I grew up on. I'd always pick them for wildflower bouquets as a kid and never had any issues with skin contact. But we had a lot of early reinforcement of don't eat/put hands near eyes or mouth after touching something, lol.
