More allergenic than poison ivy and poison oak is poison sumac, a deciduous woody shrub or small tree that grows 5â20 feet tall and has a sparse, open form (Figure 9). It inhabits swamps and other wet areas, pine woods, and shady hardwood forests.
The toxin in poison oak/ivy/sumac is an oil called urushiol. It is one of the most common allergies in humans, with as many as 85 percent of us being reactive. The oil is on the leaves (that's what makes them shiny), the stems, the branches, even the roots.
