Poison ivy has a sinister aura about it as if it knew the damage it could cause to unsuspecting victims. Its leaves glimmered in the sunlight, enticing those who didn’t know better to reach out and touch them. But the moment contact is made, its true nature is revealed. The urushiol that oozes from the leaves seems almost alive, like a venomous creature that could sense its prey. Some say that Poison Ivy seduces their victims into a false sense of security before unleashing its wrath. As much as people tried to avoid it, the poison ivy seems always to find a way to creep into their lives, a reminder of the dangers that lurked in even the most innocent-looking places.
