With the unofficial start of summer now behind us, we look forward to getting outside. Whether we are working in our yards and gardens, walking local trails, or maybe even fishing, camping, or picnicking in the woods, it’s a good time to remember to be watchful of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac while enjoying nature.

Check out this informative info from the Cleveland Clinic.
