As climate change continues to warm temperatures around the globe, environmental conditions are expected to cause the allergenic plant poison ivy to grow at an accelerated rate.
According to weed specialists, poison ivy’s seasonal sightings have reportedly started earlier and earlier with each passing year.
Rising carbon dioxide levels are also predicted to let the plant grow larger and faster than before.
A recent scientific study showed that poison ivy develops up to 70% faster with extra carbon dioxide exposure.
