Information about poison ivy, oak, sumac and the skin rashes they cause
This nasty rash was the result of pulling roots from the ground and not realizing they were poison ivy roots. (There is no easy way to tell poison ivy roots from other plant roots.) And the roots are full of the urushiol oil that causes the rash even in the winter, so they are very troublesome.
But this photo is also a reminder that if you DO come up with a nasty rash, it's good to have a little bunny to give you support!
