Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) is not considered poisonous to humans. While it is generally safe, some people may experience mild skin irritation upon contact with the plant's leaves. It is always advisable to exercise caution and wash hands after handling any plant. However, it is not toxic to pets or livestock.

Boston ivy and poison ivy are both climbing plants, but they have key differences in appearance, growth habits, and risks to humans. Boston ivy has three-lobed leaves that turn red in the fall, while poison ivy has three shiny leaflets that can cause a rash when touched.

It is important to be able to distinguish between the two to avoid potential health risks.
