It is usually shinny with 3 leaves. Do not mistake poison ivy with the red vine you see sometimes. 7min itch is a ivy but not poison so don't mistake with that either. It can also look like a tree with a brown root climbing up it. It look much like when you get scratched hard and that place swells up.

NOT TOO MANY YEARS AGO, doctors as well as the public in general believed that poison ivy could be spread from oozing sores on the skin caused by poison ivy., we now KNOW that this is NOT true.
