The leaves have an oil on them causing skin lesions, and the branches and
roots if scratched or brushed may cause a rash. It is a 3 leave bushy plant
with berries on it that turns a bright red orange in fall.
The only thing I know that uses this plant are birds and goats......
The tank will have to be rolled "uphill" no less........I will be glad when
I am finished.......Oh, and there are the biting flies this spring.......So
far they seem to keep there distance.....

Sure hate to be the grunt that has to carry the water tank! g

So what can you do w/poison oak? Is it just the leaves, or is the
bark/wood also bad stuff? Does it look just like regular oak on the
inside?
