I have never seen anyone get pinpoint poison ivy and if it was his ankles would be covered in it too.

I’ve had tons of poison ivy and never had it blister.

If you don’t want to be helpful, leave the thread. It’s not poison Ivy. I’ve had it many time and tell me how a boy can get poison ivy on the inside of his arm and not anywhere else on his arm. High up on his calve, and nowhere else on thast same leg? Maybe you should have a drink and go find another thread to jeer.

I would agree ... it is classic poison ivy.

No, one does not have to have it on anlkles or wrists ... in fact, many times those that are ultra sensitive to poisoin Ivy can pick it up from another person or perhaps a pet that has wandered through and brushed up against a plant.

And .. it makes no difference in spring summer fall or winter .... even dormant poison ivy still will cause blisters if someone senitive tangles with it.

. it grows everywhere, it shows up in my garden at times, no doubt dropped by a squirrel or birds.

And again, a dog that has contacted the plant, rolling in the yard can leave enough urushiol (the oily poison of the plant) on the grass that someone who is sensitive can play in it and pick it up that way as well.

I can practically stand on the plant and not be bothered. My wife will break out like crazy if she pets a dog that has at some time been in contact with it.

From the photos I would bet dollars to donuts is that it is poison Ivy. It will not spread .. once the urushiol is absorbed it is gone.

Poison Ivy is a Rash. If it was to blister, it would do so over a wide area, and not be as localized as it is.

That’s not Poison Ivy.
