Poison Ivy has three-part leaves. I am not sure what Clemsonfor means by 'mitten leaves' but sometimes Poison Ivy has large teeth on the edges of its three-part leaves, and I guess that might make them look a little like mittens. Usually when I hear 'mitten shaped leaves' I think Sassafras.
 
Do you know what poison oak is? You would know what the mitten leaf is. Poison ivy has ridges or edges on the. Leaf but not really a mitten.
 
I vote English Ivy.

I am way sensitive and paranoid about poison ivy.

But I pull that english ivy off my trees every few weeks. its out of control. 99% sure english ivy
 
I'm 100% sure its English ivy.

Never had an issue with it either . . . until about three weeks ago. I'm happy to say that this week I am most definitely feeling better.

I will take one of those t-shirts as well. I am not allergic either, but I still respect it. I am pretty sure I gave someone PI by touching them after I had been pulling some off a tree.

I always thought Virginia Creeper was fine.
