I was on vacation for 3 years and now my garden is full of dangerous
plants who probably bite me.

What can I do?

Bite you, eh? Ask a dentist to give you steel teeth so you can bite them
back!

When I bought this house it was surrounded by lots of weedy briars, & many
thorned shrubs & thorned trees. I removed the briars entirely; underlimbed
the thorned trees; cut back the thorned bushes, & planted softer shrubs in
front of mean ones, while defining "safe" path areas with pavers. I now
rarely get bitten by the plants except when it's time to prune a barberry
or hawthorn.

There are other things even more dangerous though. I planted lots of
different kinds of monkshoods, which, if I ever lose my mind & start
gobbling them down, would kill me dead.
