    I am wondering if this tree is Poison Sumac?

    I live in just outside of Tampa Florida.

    I have had a reaction on my hands and feet that looks like poison ivy for months and am trying to figure out what I am alergic to in my yard.

    Please help

    Thanks

    Prunus caroliniana. Definitely not a sumac!

    Do you have a goldenrain tree? Koelreuteria paniculata? Lots of folks have it and get some kind of contact dermatitis from it but have a hard time identifying the culprit.

    If it isn't too intrusive, post a general photo (or photos) of the plants in your yard? Someone might be able to identify something that could possibly cause issues.
