An old saying serves to differentiate between the similar poison ivy and Virginia creeper. For the five-leaved Virginia creeper tends not to be noxious to humans. But with poison ivy, it's well to remember 'leaves of three let it be'. Additionally, poison ivy has a light-colored berryabout which the warning is 'berries of white run in fright'.

If I have poison ivy and ate cashews could that start a reaction again?
If you have a severe allergy to poison ivy, you will most likely also be allergic to cashews. Cashews are from the poison ivy family, and can contain similar allergens. The reason you never see cashews with a shell on them is because the shell has the same irritating oils that poison ivy leaves have on them. Most people that have minor skin breakouts from poison ivy (not a severe allergy) should not have an issue with consuming cashews.
