A Poison Ivy Bush in Winter

This is the same bush as pictured in the summer.

I used this to illustrate poison ivy in the winter since it's bit unusual.

I pictured somebody gathering wood for a Christmas craft project without thinking that this bush could be poison ivy.

The word is that you CAN get poison ivy from working with the vine in winter AND you can get it in your lungs if you burn it and breathe the smoke. Gack!
