A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? Is this a Poison Ivy?

Hello Everyone~

I recently moved to the Mid-West from California. So never in my life have i encountered Poison Ivy. Apparently i was told that the rash on my neck which i thought was Heat rash is actually caused by poison Ivy ...

I went around the house searching for potential culprit and i found this. PLease let me know if this is poison Ivy since it's kinda oddly shaped.



the plant on the left with 3 leafs of course~

Thanks everyone~

Yup, it looks like it to me...the dreaded rash maker.

yeah.. reason i was doubting it was because the older leafs all splits. but yeah.. GAWD> I still have that rash now. It's AWFUL!!!

"Leaves of three, let it be!!!" You've got yourself some poison ivy!

The more you touch the rash, the more it spreads. What you need to do is dry it out. You can do that by using white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. :)

well. HAhah.. Never seen or even thought of poison Ivy all my life. XD so yep. i thought it was weed. so i pulled some of it. thank goodness with gloves. HAHAH

So my infection wasn't as bad. but yeah. been unknowingly drying it out with Aloe Vera

Not poison ivy
maybe virginia creeper
