AMONG botany students and the public at large, there is a great deal of
discrepancy between myths and what is actually known about the Toxicodendrons,
especially Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac. Although most people are
familiar with these plants, there is much confusion, superstition, and
misinformation about their characteristics and the allergic reactions they
cause. To bridge the gap between fact and fiction, this book was written in
a non-technical style, providing up-to-date information about these poisonous
plants, including identification, prevention and treatment, and botanical
relatives.
