Poison Oak or Poison Ivy is a plant (found in North America) that can wreak havoc on your skin if you touch it’s sap. When your skin comes in contact with the oil called Urushiol found in the sap of Poison Ivy your skin breaks out, you can see red itchy bumps or blisters on your skin and you will scratch till it bleeds.

Mango, Cashew, Pistachio and Poison Oak(poison Ivy or Poison Sumac) are from the same family(Anacardiaceae).
