Urushiol


How can you tell the difference between poison sumac and a young pecan tree?

From what I understand, Poison Sumac only grows in very wet areas such as bogs and wetlands. However common sumac looks very similar to a pecan. Eventually, the dense cluster of drupes (or sumac bobs) should give it away. As a extra note, I think the drupes are white on poison sumac.


What does poison sumac look like?

It is a woody shrub or small tree that can reach 30 feet tall. It contains urushiol, a resin that can cause skin lesions, and that can be inhaled into the lungs from the smoke caused by burning sumac. Not all varieties of sumac are poisonous. Poison sumac are found in wet or boggy areas throughout the northeast US and parts of northeast Canada.A shrub or small tree is what poison sumac is.Specifically, poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix) can grow to a mature height of almost 30 feet/9 meters. Its leaves grow in groups of 7-13 leaflets. It has flowers in green clusters and fruits as flattened gray spheres. All parts of the plant will be irritating to people who react to the resin urushiol, which also is found in poison ivy (T. radicans) and poison oak (T. diversilobum in western North America, T. pubescens in eastern North America).

What is 'poison sumac' in Latin?

Toxicodendron vernix is the scientific name of 'poison sumac'. The plant contains the same urushiol oil that makes humans want to avoid contact with poison ivy [Toxicodendronradicans] and poison oak [Toxicodendrondiversilobum and Toxicodendron pubescens]. Of the three, poison sumac causes the most extreme allergic reaction in susceptible humans. In fact, many botanists describe poison sumac as the most toxic plant in the United States of America.
