I think it is ivy--it's not always 3 leaved. I kept getting into it and kept getting rashes because I kept thinking poison ivy only ever had 3 leaves.<br /><br />I always get it second hand now, from my hubby's clothes. Either the kids or I will touch him, and then the urishiol gets on me. Always in the most awful spots, too.<br CappuccinosMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707709617552413520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296105834039618441.post-52250849149361926122009-05-25T20:35:55.026-04:002009-05-25T20:35:55.026-04:00I hopped over to your blog from Anna's.

It grows quite a bit around my parents property, but in all the years of living and working there, I've never received an itchy spot. I'm guilty of picking some poison oak and rubbing it on myself when I was about 13, just to see if I would react. Nary a spot for me. <br /><br />My mom and brother do react most horribly so.

I will now be learning the other two.
