Like if you touch it. Poison ivy, for example.

Not likely, I'm afraid. Fairly sure that you need some kind of contaminant to carry syndromes over.

Could you give them growths that are of a material that turns into gas so they inhale it?

Brainstorming.

Ok, then can I give plants secretions? Like cave blobs?

No. SECRETIONS is a creature token, plants have some different tokens.

Solids don't contaminate so syndromes won't work when they are in that state. So make a growth that is liquid or gas (so when it "falls" like vanilla leaves it can contaminate)? I've not fiddled much with trees recently.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

In addition to the boiling growth/shrub tricks mentioned above, SYN_INGESTED works fine with all plants - including grass for GRAZER creatures!
