is more of a
terror than it has
cause to be, for
- all scientists who
have given much
study to the sub-
ject agree that many persons, perhaps
even a majority, are more or less immune
to it. No one, says Dr. Couch, is absolutely
ivv-nraof: he can raise blittrrs Willi tlie
sueezec-oul sap of the plant on the skin of
anyone hardy (or foolish) enough to volun
teer for such an experiment.
But many of these same persons can walk around in it alt
day. or pull it up by the handful, with no ill effect whatever.
But this should not encourage these lucky ones to be too reck
less? Immunity to poison ivy does not always stand at the same
level, but apparently suffers occasional letdowns. , and if one'
happens to gel poisoned during one of these low spells he never
lecovert his lost immunity.
Dr. Couch states ulso that fvy poisoning is really a double
effect. The blulrring and itching are caused, he says, by tlie
substance which Dr. McNair isolated and named "lobinol."
while the swelling and reddening of the afflicted parts, togetlier

sensation that
so seriously
affects many
psifon ivy patients, are what is known as an "allergic" reaction, -more
or leu analogous to most kinds of hay fever, and are
probably due to some other poisonous substance not yet identified.
' Perrons who are susceptible to the blistering effects of the
ivy are often quite immune to this allergic reaction. For thir
part nf llie poisoning effects the various chemical treatments
reconuicnded for the blisters and itching are of no use.
jJUT aflar all haa been (aid about remedies and preventives
and the fortunate immunity of many persons, the best pre

Poison ivy and its west coast relative, poison oak,
are very muds alike in general appearance. They
grow either as vines, climbing fences and trees, or
as erect slender-stemmed shrubs from underground
rootslocks, and are datinguislieJ by their glossy
green, three-parted leaves.
, These leaves, fortunately for the observant wan
derer in Ajc woods, are nol like those of any other
vine or shrub. ,
Their flowers, which are in bloom during the late
rpring and early summer, are nlumr title clusters of
liny prernish bloom. The flowers are succeeded by pale white
little berries, which persist throughout the winter.
Poison ivy is a 100 pes cent American plant It plagued
llie settlers al Jamestown, and Captain John Smith knew M both

"ill nature." as Captain John Smith put it. is the poison
ruinac This looks much like the common sumac that is such
a fine ornament -on the roadsides,- but is clearly distingusshabbi
by several marks: it always grows in or near acid-water bogs,
wherea the cdrnmon sumac is an upland plant; its fruits arc
smooth, round while berries that hang in drooping loose bunches,
while the ornamental sumac's fruits are small and rough, deep
brown or black in color, and stand erect in a close pyramidal
cluster; finally the bark of poison sumac is pallid gray, while
that pi the ordinary sumac is more brownish, or in the case of
the staghorn sumac, very hairy and sooty-black.
