How to counter a Teemo? Pure, simple agression. From level 1, just harass him endlessly and force him to recall and lose farm. Even melee champs with gap closers can do this. Try Garen or Jax, and whatever you do in the laning phase, do NOT let him harass you. If he lands an auto attack or blinding dart, push on and trade. As long as you don't give him free hits, he won't be a threat early on. A crystalline flask may be a good idea early on, to ensure you out-sustain him. Build a Banshee's Veil to block either the blind or a mushroom plus a lot of the poison damage as soon as possible, and either mercury's threads or boots of swiftness for effective chasing and less effective mushrooms. Use the ward trinket early on, since aggressive pushing will surelyt attract ganks, but switch to the sweeper as soon as you deem it safe.

Avoid entering the brush needlesly, since there [i]will[/i] be mushrooms in them. Also remember when chasing [i]any[/i] enemy that they will try to run you into the mushrooms, so use unorthodox ways and means of chase, or give it up.

As long as he is not fed, he will be rather irrelevant in the late game teamfights as he can always be bursted down in a blink of an eye and his damage cannot compete with most ADCs and APCs, although mushrooms may hinder any chasing considerably.
