The following video playlist will help you identify poison ivy and oriental bittersweet. This could save you an ocean of calamine lotion, or worse, a trip to the emergency room.
Please take the risk of poison ivy seriously, take every precaution, and thorough clean-up is a must after you are done working. Remember that the urushiol oil (the oil that causes the allergic reaction) is very persistent on shoes, clothing, tools, gloves, etc, which means family members and others can be exposed via contact with these items (while putting your SAT Day clothing in the laundry, for example).
