Poison ivy, containing urushiols that cause allergic reactions in most Americans, affects 50 million people annually. Identifying and safely removing the plant involves wearing protective gear, pulling it up by its roots, and properly disposing of all plant parts. Cleaning up afterward is crucial to avoid cross-contamination. Herbicides may be used as a last resort, but extreme caution is needed as they can harm other plants and remain toxic in the soil. Continual vigilance is necessary as sprouts may reappear over several seasons.
