Abstract
Physicians interested in the poison ivy problem have suspected that a close botanical and immunological relationship exists among the following: Poison ivy, Poison oak, Poison sumac, Cashew nut shell liquid, Bhilawanol, Bhilawanut, the Bhilawanut tree, and the Japanese lacquer tree. This study is concerned with cross-sensitiza-tion reactions of the dermatitis-producing members of the sumac family of plants mentioned, f Poison-ivy sensitive (primary sensitization) individuals are the subjects of this investigation. So far as could be determined by interviews, none of the subjects tested had experienced exposure to other members of the poison sumac family other than poison ivy or poison oak, which was their primary sensitization.
