Can Cutting Poison Ivy Cause The Spore To Fly Into The Air?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Poison Ivy does not have spores. It has an oil called urishol that causes the allergic reaction. DO not burn poison ivy, oak or sumac as it can vaporize the oils and you can breathe them in. This can cause severe lung problems. Cutting it down is ok, but maybe try a woody plant herbicide instead.
