Poison Ivy Poison Oak And Poison Sumac

Poison-ivy, poison-oak and poison sumac is a mycological work by Donald Mundell Crooks. It covers the identification, precautions and eradication knowledge needed to deal with these poisonous mushrooms.

A factual and sometimes humorous look at some of the most irksome weeds in the woods. It defines poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, and with detailed drawings and photographs enables anyone to identify these plants accurately in the field. And Nature's Revenge does much more: It reviews lore and history; sorts out myth from reality, highlighting helpful remedies of yore; and, finally, provides cutting-edge information on current treatment, prevention, and research.

Discusses five basic plants that are poisonous and cause rashes and examines the myths about these plants as well as "cures" and home remedies for the rashes that work, appear to work, or don't work at all.
