Update: Plant Dermatitis Among Active Component Service Members, U.S. Armed Forces, 2010–2020

Article

As the name implies, poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) usually grows as an ivy. However, in Zion it occurs in its shrub state growing only a few feet tall in the wetter canyons of the park. Poison ivy can also be identified by the greyish-white fruit that is produced in the fall. Although it may appear harmless, beware of this plant as its oils can produce an allergic reaction in the form of an irritating rash. NPS Photo/Jonathan Fortner

Plant dermatitis is an allergic inflammatory skin reaction in response to the oils of poisonous plants. In the U.S., the most common dermatitis-causing plant genus is the Toxicodendron (formerly Rhus). Approximately 50%–75% of the U.S. adult population are susceptible to skin reactions upon exposure to Toxicodendron oil or oleoresin, called urushiol.
