How do you identify Poison Ivy? As a kid in the midwest I was never affected by it but now that I am severely affected by Poison Oak I want to be on the look out.

I can't help with the ID of it but I do know what to do if you get some on you.
When you first notice it (fresh!) pour vinegar on it. It stings a bit but after that there is not a problem. This worked for me many times in my woods in Minnesota.
