Poison Ivy Trail

Vincent Iannelli, MD
Do you often wonder where poison ivy likes to grow? Good spots to look for poison ivy include the edge of paths and trails, around ponds and lakes, and along tree and fence lines.

To avoid poison ivy, teach your kids to stick to marked roads and paths and not wander beyond them into more wild areas, where poison ivy may be growing.
