Poison Ivy Identification Tips

Recognize Poison Ivy so that you can avoid it. Rhymes that help:
Leave of three, beware of thee.
Longer middle stem, stay away from them.
Side leafs like mittens, itch like the dickens.
Red leaves in spring, it's a dangerous thing.
Hairy vine, no friend of mine.
Berries white, danger in sight.

    I unfortunately was hiking in the winter and had no toilet paper. I used some dried leaves and it was terrible! Another time I was visiting a friend’s mother and she wanted some help to clear an area for a vegetable garden. I only had flip flops, but volunteered to help anyway. That was even worse as it was like I had used poison ivy to floss between my toes!!!

    At the 4:21 mark just slightly left of center, isn't that poison sumac? It has a long stem and opposing leaves. Again at the 4:26 mark BEHIND the poison ivy, I don't know, but it looks like it may be poison sumac also, it has that long stem with round opposing leaves. Frolicking in the Virginia creepers looks like you could still get in trouble if they're usually mixed with other poisonous plants. It looks like with ivy and oak the three leaf poems can help, but with the sumac...well...
