Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Similar Plant Identification

By Brooklyn Evas, Pam Sharp, Shelley Mitchell, Ryan Patton, Justin Quetone Moss. Knowing how to recognize poison ivy, oak and sumac can save you from a miserable red itchy rash. All three of these closely related plants contain an irritating, oily sap called urushiol. Urushiol causes many people to break out in a rash when it comes in contact with their skin.
