Poison Sumac grows wild in the eastern one-third of the United States and Texas, Louisiana, and Minnesota. If you live in one of those states, you might be able to find someone who has it growing wild and would let you remove it for free. Since it is both poisonous and invasive (spreads relentlessly), most people would be happy to have it removed.

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.
No, poison ivy [Toxicodendron radicans] and poison oak [Toxicodendron diversilobum and Toxicodendron pubescens] aren't the same. What they are is related. They share the same genus [Toxicodendron], which is like people who share the same last name. But they aren't in the same species [radicans, pubescens, diversilobum], which is like having different first names.Something else that they share is a lack of toxicity or poisonousness. Specifically, they both share the presence of urushiol. That oil causes a skin reaction because of irritation, not because of poisons or toxins.
