Virginia Creeper – Possible Rash
Q: Is Virginia creeper poisonous like poison ivy? Does it have an oil that causes a rash?
A: To my knowledge, Virginia creeper does not commonly cause a skin reaction. I’ve pulled it by the bushel basket and never had a reaction. That said, some sensitive folks might have an atypical dermatitis from exposure to the sap.
