Everything You Need To Know About Poison Ivy

Nothing takes the fun out of being outdoors faster than an encounter with poison ivy. It's the cockroach of the plant world: it regenerates readily, it's everywhere, and people loathe it. At least one member of the poison ivy clan (Toxicodendron, formerly Rhus) grows in every state in the continental US. Each region has its own varieties of poison ivy or poison oak, but all are perennials in the cashew family, and all cause a rash, blisters, and itchiness.

I used to be tolerant of poison ivy and it wouldn't affect me but I lost the tolerance but I've learned to live in a jungle of it.

I wash the oil off quickly and it doesn't give me much trouble.
