Скачать или смотреть Poison Ivy Identification - How to Identify Poison Ivy Plants

Hey guys in this video we talk about how to identify Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy is a commonly found plant that is known for causing dermatitis when it is touched. While foraging wild edibles it is important to know the features of this plant for identification so you don't experience the discomfort of touching it. Poison Ivy frequently grows along trees, fence posts, along the edges of gardens, and other areas where you might find yourself foraging. It can also be confused with other plants, like Virginia Creeper vine which we will talk about in this video as well. Poison Ivy has three leaflets that can take on a variable form, meaning they can look different from plant to plant, so it is important to know how to identify it.

Poison Ivy has three leaflets that can be toothed along the margins of the leaves, or they can have lobes. The leaflets can be glossy in appearance or they can be red. The plant an grow in a trailing creeping vine form along the ground, a small shrub like plant, or a climbing vine along trees or fence posts. In the summer it will produce very small flowers that are whitish green, and after that it will produce berries. These berries contain the seeds that other animals will consume to spread the seeds of this plant. This plant is notorious for the dermatitis that it will cause in those who are allergic, but not everyone is allergic to it. The essential oil of the plant can last for months on things like gloves, boots, shoes, lawnmower blades, etc. It is important to know this plant so you do not forage it.
