There are many more than 3 poisonous plants in Florida. Not sure about the rest of the Country. I assume you are referring to poison sumac, poison ivy and poison oak. |

Yeah, those three.
Let me amend what I said: There are three that are poisonous to touch. Several others that are harmful (such as stinging nettles), but which do no long-term harm. And many that are toxic to injest.
The point is, of the several sumacs that grow in America, only one---the rarest of them as it turns out---is poisonous. Yet, the average person typically thinks of "sumac" is poisonous, and to be avoided.

Sadly there is quite a bit of it in the woods in Florida. Since I hunt, I have "found" it a few times. Not much fun! There is a lot of edible sumac here also, but they look a lot alike.
After a little research, it turns out you stay away from the plants with the white berries! Thanks for making me go look! |
