Beware of this vine, Virginia Creeper. You may notice its scarlet FIVE-leaved foliage and dark blue berries on a wall or fence this fall. For some people, unprotected skin contact results in an itchy, blistering, spreading rash that lasts for weeks. Having learned the hard way ... I’ll be wearing gloves and long sleeves next time!

Never bothered me either, thank goodness, since I pull it out by the wheelbarrow load!
