Poison ivy and poison oak are woody perennial plants found throughout the United States and Canada. They may trail along the ground, weave their way through meadows, appear as a bush or shrub, form vines that climb up and take over trees, or may even be found masquerading as tiny green shoots in the middle of your flower bed! There is an old adage, “Leaves of three, leave it be”. This refers to glossy or dull green leaf clusters that usually present themselves in three’s, and generally are two to four inches in length. The leaves of poison oak are more irregular than those of poison ivy, and both have clusters of small, yellowish or white berries that appear in summer and fall. The leaves in the fall turn
bright yellow, then bright red.

The oil (resin) that poison ivy and poison oak produce - a chemical in the sap - is called urushiol (pronounced oo-roo-shee-ohl). Urushiol is responsible for the red (sometimes swollen) rash, watery blisters and intense itch that result from contact with it and can remain potent for years on tools or clothing. Smoke from burning plants, even those wrapped around logs in your fireplace during winter months, can carry the resin through the air and affect any of your uncovered skin, including your eyes. Regardless of how hard you try to avoid it, it is likely that you will have an unfortunate contact with one of the poisonous members of Toxicodendron radicans at least once, and maybe many times, in your life.

The best precaution is to know what the plants look like and avoid them. If you should be exposed, you should first clean the exposed skin with alcohol. Then, wash the alcohol off the skin with water. Next, you should take a shower with soap and warm water. Any clothing, tools or anything else that may have been contaminated by the urushiol should be cleaned with alcohol, and then your hands should be cleaned again.
