poison oak
Poison oak, scientifically known as Toxicodendron diversilobum, is a deciduous shrub or vine belonging to the Anacardiaceae (cashew) family. It is known for causing a severe allergic reaction or skin rash upon contact due to its oil, called urushiol. Poison oak is native to western North America and can be found in a range of habitats, from forests to grasslands. It typically has lobed or scalloped leaves that are grouped in clusters of three, resembling true oak leaves.
