hello! I live in Eastern Pennsylvania and was hoping someone could identify this vine. It grows over a fence in my yard and has twice given me a terrible, poison-ivy like rash. Once from the live plant, once from clearing dead stems. The sensation when you touch it is instantly stinging, and then blooms into a pin-prick rash that lasts 2-4 weeks. None of my online research has turned up anything quite like it, and it's become really important for me to name my foe. thanks! rachel.
aha! thank you... a little further reading tells me that only about 10% of the population have this reaction to Boston Ivy... hard to find info on it... thanks again!
