poisonous plants

The plant i chose is Poison Sumac. Poison Sumac can be a small tree or shrub with alot of green leaves and white berries. However, in the fall the leaves change to yellow and then to a deep red. Poison Sumac, when in contct with your skin, can cause itching, swelling, redness, and tenderness on and around the contacted area. Also oozing, draining, and crusting can occur.
