Just want to know before I start scratching my head to figure out the tokens:
Is it possible to attach syndrome causing to a plant?

Like making a weed that causes (Very mild) blisters on the feet/legs if you are not wearing clothes.

Or maybe even for when I feel the world isn't deadly enough, a plant that periodically releases spores (or something. I saw a dust token on the wiki) that causes various negative effects like necrosis.

Sorry if this is just annoying to be asked.

You're not being annoying at all! We like to help people around here! 

SYN_CONTACT might work for the blisters. However there's no way to make plants themselves expel dust.

Not like you want, but you can make plants that sicken you if eaten. This is a mostly untested plant but it doesn't appear on the kitchen screen and dwarves go crazy if they eat it, making farms even more important.

I think SYN_CONTACT only works if the material sticks to your skin, like a liquid. That's why you can have swords of solid poison with no repercussions.

You could have a plant that when eaten makes people expel dust for a time that causes nasty effects.

Well, thanks anyway then. Atleast saves me the trouble of starting to create plants and going "ARGH. THE SYNDROMES DON'T WORK" and having to figure out if it's because the game can't support it, or I messed up.

Edit: Related idea, is it possible to have two ways to process a plant (even if it's not proper plant processing, but one of those custom workshops I remmember fooling around with once), one which has a % chance of creating a 'byproduct' which is the release of dust that causes nasty stuff (Like Zombiefication upon death) while the other needs other items, but doesn't cause that?

[ArKFallen]

Yes, and there are 2 good ways to administer the byproduct syndrome. Boiling stones (check Black Lung mod or Masterwork mod) and creating bees that die upon sting (interested check bee weaponization thread).
