+Poison ivy (Rhus toxicodendron or Toxicodendron radicans) is a problem commonly encountered while caching. In most people, it causes a rash, however some people have little or no sensitivity to the irritant oil, which is called '''urushiol'''.
 The plant is characterized by 3 notched leaves. The middle leaf looks like when you put your hands on top of one another, with the thumbs outward, and the outer leaves look like a mitten with a thumb. The plant is sometimes confused with Virginia Creeper, which looks similar to the poison ivy plant, only with 5 leaves. However, Virginia Creeper sap apparently contains oxalate crystals which can cause in some individuals contact dermatitis. Both plants have hairy vines.
