Wild parsnip rash typically appears as a burning or stinging sensation followed by a blistering, red rash, often accompanied by dark brown or purplish discoloration. This reaction usually occurs after skin exposure to the plant's sap and is exacerbated by sunlight. In contrast, poison ivy rash presents as itchy, red, and raised blisters that may appear in streaks or patches, typically developing 12 to 72 hours after contact. The key difference lies in the timing and appearance; wild parsnip is sun-sensitive and can cause skin discoloration, while poison ivy causes a more localized, itchy reaction.
