is perriwinkle part of the privet family? My Mum is allergic to privet - it brings her out in an itchy rash if she comes into contact with it - she has perriwinkle in her garden and has noticed a similar reaction with this.

Ah, so that's why you wanted to know, lol! Our reactions to various plants can be unpredictable - I react to certain conifers if I brush against them, but not all. Now, if only I could remember which ones give me trouble...

They are in two different families but, as SBG has already said, may container similar chemicals.
