OK I went outside and dug through the pile and it appears I have 2 different kinds. I do have sumac and Virginia creeper! The creeper has 5 leaves. Some of the stems do have a red tint to them. I'm surprised I'm not covered head to toe.

I will be using boiling water to clean off my tools.

I also want everyone to know that the banana peel worked wonders but rubbing regular table salt on the rash worked good too. Someone here said to wash the area leaving it wet then rub regular table salt into the are. It burned for a second but the itch stopped. I do feel a bit swollen all over but my face feels more normal today especially around my eyes.

I'm looking forward to my moving because the only thing growing on my new place is grass.

Picture of Virginia Creeper. You guys should include it in your pictures.
