They are essentially the same weed.

Nope. They are simply related. Which has NOTHING to do with toxicity.

These plants all belong to the plant genus, toxicodendron and contain
the same toxin urushiol in a similar amount.
You get the rash he same way and you treat it the same way.

Like most things, the people who have it (ivy vs oak) say theirs is
the worst but there is no real difference.

Horse****!!! I guess that you don't realize that the STRENGTH of the
toxin is different, eh? Here's what I know that you don't. I've been all
over hiking and camping, been in poison Ivy many, many times, poison oak
in both the eastern and western varieties, and there damned sure is a
difference. ****, what do you need, my medical record from that time?

I've had the poison ivy rash once. Went to the doc who said, "That's poison ivy." I told him I
wasn't allergic to poison ivy. His response, "You are now."

I don't really care about the difference. I simply stay out of it. Easy. I can't believe you caught
it many, many times.

Whoops, never mind....I can believe it.

Poison ivy doesn't bother me, moron, therefore why worry like a little
baby about it?
