Poison sumac | Thunderwood

__________________________________________________________


Toxicodendron vernix, commonly known as poison sumac, or swamp-sumach, is a woody shrub or small tree. This plant is also known as thunderwood, particularly where it occurs in the southern United States. Poison sumac grows exclusively in wet and clay soils, usually in swamps and peat bogs, in the eastern United States and extreme southeast Canada.

All parts of the plant contain a resin called urushiol that causes skin and mucous membrane irritation to humans. Urushiol is the same chemical that poison ivy is covered in. When the plant is burned, inhalation of the smoke may cause the rash to appear on the lining of the lungs, causing extreme pain and possibly fatal respiratory difficulty. They are, however, not toxic to birds or other animals, and eaten by them when other food is scarce, especially in winter.

In terms of its potential to cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, poison sumac is more toxic than its relatives poison ivy and poison oak.
