    Thank you for your help. I'm highly allergic to it and it's been awhile since I went hiking in the woods. Peace

      Poison Ivy has 3 almond shaped leaves (see picture). Poison-Ivy is in fact a woody vine part of the Anacardiaceae family and in no way related to Ivy. Poison-Ivy is infamous for its ability to manufacture the chemical urushiol which is a skin irritant that can cause severe itching and rashes.
