Everywhere in the US and southern Canada except the far west, deserts and at high altitude. In the west they have poison oak, which is very similar. Both love roadsides and edges of fields. Anybody know how far into Canada and Mexico it goes?

You get poison oak from touches poison oak (green, three leaves not hairy leaves) which gives off a black type of oil which stays on your skin or clothes etc..

Also you could get it from an infected individual. To get it that way is if there poison oak touches your clothes or skin within 74 hours of the infected individual getting it.

Or you can get it from saying have a ball go into poison oak and you taking it out of poison oak then playing with the ball again.

If you are wondering how to prevent it keep reading.

Well the most successful way of getting rid of poison oak is as soon as your kids come back from outside tell them to have a warm shower and use 2x the regular amount of soap. And then when they get out of the shower once they dry off wash the towel IMMEDIATELY then wash your hands. Then if you want to make sure that they do not have poison oak tell you child to rash their legs, arms and faces with rubbing alcohol.

Almost everywhere in California it is easy to find poison oak. From a distance in the fall it can be seen woven within the bushes for miles due to its bright red leaves. During other times of the year it is green and glossy. It tends to grow more in valleys and hillsides, within brush and bushes, in forests, and along streams and rivers.

The tricky thing about poison oak is that it grows in several forms. It can look like a small young tree, a vine, or a bush. In vine form it often hangs down at face level along hiking trails, making it hard to see until it brushes your head.

Its leaves can also take slightly different shapes, and in these variations it may be hard to detect unless you are good at identifying it. Poison oak seems able to grow almost anywhere except the desert, and is very hardy and tolerant of dry climates.

Does burning dead poison oak in wood stove put off a poison gas?

Burning poison oak (or poison ivy or poison sumac) can release the urushiol, which is the oily substance in poison oak that many (but not all) people have strong reactions to. Worse, the urushiol will be carried in the smoke from the fire, and it will get into the lungs of anyone who breathes in the smoke. If you think that having poison oak on your arms and legs is bad, just imagine having that poison oak reaction on the inside of your lungs.Bottom line: do not ever burn poison oak.
