poison ivy rash

Leafy vine consequence

Poison ivy rash is the itchy, blistering skin reaction caused by contact with poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac.

The rash appears as red, swollen patches with fluid-filled blisters, often in streaks where the plant brushed against skin.

It results from an allergic reaction to urushiol oil and typically lasts one to three weeks: I got a terrible poison ivy rash hiking last weekend.
