Have a look at "the world's most poisonous plants" #6, monkshood:

Since it's "extremely poisonous even to the touch," it's not something they would sell you at a craft store without having you sign about a dozen releases.
However, Karen Walton made up her own species of it that was "safe in small doses." In fact, the species aconitum lycantonum doesn't exist. She said in the commentary that she wasn't afraid teens would get violent and kill because of the movie, but she was afraid that they would try to shoot monkshood. She also deliberately misspelled the name.

You notice in
Unleashed
it's painful for Brigitte to take. Question is whether getting enough on her skin might have done the trick.

That's an interesting observation. When she said "I can't feel my hand", maybe that was why. Maybe it wasn't the lycanthropy, but it was the monkshood interacting with the hand, although I'm not sure which hand she cut, and which hand she carried the monkshood in and whether it would have made a difference or not. I'll have to watch the film again some time to confirm.

You know, though, when Brigitte and Sam are in the house trying to cure Ginger, there's a part where Brigitte picks up the stalks and staggers. She was already shivering and feverish, but I've wondered if her almost swooning was from touching the monkshood. It certainly looked like it.

Yeah. I kind of think anyone would gather that due to the poisonous nature of the plantand that isn't hard to understand considering
It's extremely poisonous even to the touch
as you say and to see where Karen Walton is coming from isn't hard to understand either.
