Is this poison ivy on the left? Or what is it? Eugene, OR


It was ticking the back of my knee. I was playing archeologist finding cool bones in the forest & I was so excited I didn't realize it (dumb I know). I can't tell if it's a bug bite or a plant reaction!! 🙁

but I work as a phlebotomist & need to know asap if I need to stay home or not. Attached is a photo of it last night. Super swollen & uncomfortable to bend my leg. Kinda tingly. SUPER itchyyy

Sorry for not better pics, I didn't think I'd need to find out what touched my back of knee lol

    Leaves of three, let them be. Looks like it to me!

    My app says it’s California blackberry, *Rubus ursinus*. It’s got curved, prickly thorns, so it could cause skin irritation.

    But it doesn’t have an affect like poison oak and that pic doesn’t look like poison oak. Poison oak/ivy doesn’t have thorns or hairy stems.

    You need to get some prednisone and strong antihistimine. You need a doctor.

    No, there isn’t any Poison ivy in this photo. It looks like Rubus sp.

    Not poison ivy, and the rash doesn’t look like poison ivy either.

    You might have touched stinging nettle which is popping up right now and is at about knee height. Doesn’t itch but can be painful and uncomfortable

    A little off topic, im just curious. For what reason were you balancing those bones so carefully?
