What is the toxin found in Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac?

  1. Urushiol

  2. Ivytoxin

  3. Sumacol

  4. Oaklyn

The correct answer is: Urushiol

This answer is correct because urushiol is the common name for the plant-derived compound that causes skin irritation in poison ivy, oak, and sumac. It is not called Ivytoxin, Sumacol, or Oaklyn. Choosing any of the other options may lead to confusion or misunderstanding about the correct toxin found in these plants. It is important to accurately identify the toxin in order to effectively prevent and treat any reactions.
