Hello, Smarty Pants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia. Today we're stepping carefully through the itchy,

scratchy, leaf-filled world of poison ivy. Before we wander too far down the trail, let's give a

double shout out. First to Austin in Sydney, Australia, who loves Who Smarted because it's funny and educational.

And then to Gwendolyn in Cadillac, Michigan, who says, learning is awesome.

We couldn't agree more.

Thanks for smarting with us.

All right, Smarty Pants, let's watch where we step and jump into our

first question about poison ivy. First question. How can you recognize poison ivy? Is it A,

leaves of three, B, red flowers, or C. Blueberries.

If you picked A, that leafs you, correct.

Poison Ivy is known for its leaves of three pattern.

Question two, what causes the itchy rash you get from poison ivy?

Is it A, pollen.

B, an oil called urechial.

Or C, dirt.

If you said B, your answer is spot on.

The rash from poison ivy is caused by an oil called uroiol, which hides on the plant's leaves, stems, and roots.

When it touches your skin, it can leave you feeling super itchy.

Definitely not the kind of souvenir you want from a hike.

You're avoiding trouble. Let's keep it up.

It's time for a quick nature break and a few ads from our sponsors.

Hey, smarty pants. Quick question. Would it be cool to slice flying fruit out of the air like a ninja?
