Claire & other PI sufferers,
We have poison oak here on the west coast, but it is not a problem here in
the city. But, I suppose one would not have to go too far into the
mountains to find it. It is shrubby rather than vining. I have only ever
lived in one area of Oregon where it was a problem. Ticks were also a
problem there as I recall. I had to check the kids and dogs every night for
poison oak and ticks.
I think to be exposed to either is not good, but there is probably a
difference in the way people react. I can only remember having a small rash
once. On the other hand a neighbor tried to burn it and suffered mightily
from inhaling the smoke.

so somewhere it is thriving and producing berries. Sympathy to all you
perennial gardeners who have trouble with PI. Does no-one ever mention
Poison Oak? I don't think I know what that is.
