Other than avoiding it at all cost, I never gave it much thought. What originally peaked my interest a few years ago is that our mammoth donkey escaped the fence one night and ate an incredible amount of it from a huge vine growing nearby without any negative effects, not even a rash-covered, itchy mouth and nose. An equine-expert friend said that she had seen some horses who occasionally sought it out to munch on and so assumed that it offered something they needed at the time. I was curious but didn't easily find answers, so put it on the back burner until I saw this book. Although I haven't read the entire book I have enjoyed it and look forward to reading more. It isn't like reading a textbook. I did learn that Poison Ivy does have health benefits including relief from some of Lovey's (the donkey) issues. The jacket is lovely, which may not be a huge selling point, but who doesn't appreciate a little extra beauty to go along with a new and interesting true story? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful surprising book! *by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016* This is not a basic description of this dreaded plant, but a series of fascinating stories about how poison ivy has worked its way into history, international culture, politics, and, of course, botany. I never thought I could be so interested in one plant -- especially one that can make people miserable! The author writes with solid research, wonderful storytelling, and a wicked sense of humor. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the outdoors, natural history, and plants -- but also for young people who are developing an appreciation of nature. 5 stars for sure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful book - i learned so much. *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019* I liked the background history of poison ivy as well as the ease of reading this book from an author with a since of humor. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/38843417-in-praise-of-poison-ivy-the-secret-virtues-astonishing-history](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/38843417-in-praise-of-poison-ivy-the-secret-virtues-astonishing-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
