How not to Die! Part 2 - Poison avoiding plants

You've waited and waited and finally the day is here. Whatever the occasion, a camping trip, a hunting trip or even a trip day out for the ride a little. The difference between a trip very good memories and a travel with memories that you would rather forget can be formulated in several ways. One thing is certain, that if you or a member of your group meeting any form of plant poison, for them the last two memories will be forever assigned to the output.

Poison ivy, sumac and poison sumac contain urushiol, the oil that actually causes the allergic people reaction when they come into contact with it. Many people have heard this rhyme "leaves of three beware of me", or some variation thereof to remember how poison ivy, and sumac are in the forest. Poison ivy can grow as a shrub green or green vine. Each leaf is made up of three leaflets, or of smaller leaves which are all attached to the plant stems. Sumac also has three leaves and can present as a shrub or a vine. Sumac varies in color from green to red and late spring, greenish-white flowers can be seen on the plant. Poison sumac does not correspond to the "leaves of three" configuration of poison ivy or sumac. Poison sumac is usually seven to eleven leaflets on each stem. The leaflets are alternating and the stem is red. In the fall, the leaves turn different colours ranging from bright yellow to deep purple.
