#1 English Ivy is poisonous..not to the extant of poison ivy or oak, but it can make your life miserable for awhile...

I was clearing a bed of it in my yard, cutting it pulling it, etc... the next day my ankles. wrists, forehead, and neck were red and itchy..but never exhibited the same symptoms as with poison ivy... blisters etc.. it was like a really mild case of poison ivy.. Calamine for a day or two and I was ok...

I did a little research and found that English Ivy is in fact poisonous...

English ivy stems,
leaves and berries are poisonous when ingested in large quantities, and severe skin irritation may occur when
skin comes in contact with the sap.
