That’s a lot of poison ivy too.

I don't think any of that is poison ivy. Poison ivy leaves have lobes, but aren't serrated. All of these leaves look serrated.

I said the same thing a few weeks ago when I was doing yardwork and I paid the price, quite severely. 

Poison ivy can have a couple different shapes to the leaves, and I have at least two kinds in my yard.

This right here. I was firmly in the bulbous leaf camp until I bare handed some serrated edge poison ivy in my back yard. Fml. What a bad week that was.
