Poison Ivy- Identification
Whether climbing trees or buildings with it’s
sucker like rootlet hairs or disguising itself as a
friendly plant in your garden Poison Ivy is one of the
chameleons of the plant world. Even its most distinguishable
characteristic, its three leaf pattern, can be deceiving.
Although some leaves have large serrations , others
may be entirely smooth, complicating identification
to the amateur.

Allergic Reactions
| The characteristic rash, blisters
and itchiness familiar to poison ivy victims is caused
by exposure to the persistent, virulent sap found throughout
the plant. Even small residues of this sap, left on garden
tools can remain for years and stay potent. |
