Virginia Creeper and dermatitis[edit]

Hello! I saw your edit today to Parthenocissus quinquefolia. I don't think it's quite up to encyclopedia standards as it was, and I've reverted it. (You can still retrieve the text you added at that first link.) I don't want to discourage you from editing, though, and I'm happy to work with you to help you add information to that article.

« Contact with leaves can cause severe blistering and itching. » - This is already covered in the "Leaves" section (with citations), and since it's not a common reaction, it doesn't need to be in the very broadly focused top section of the article.
« The blisters the pop and ooze on thier own spreading to more blisters.The reaction is severe and swelling also occurs. » - Dermatitis reactions in the manner of poison ivy often appear to spread via the fluid from blisters, but if I recall correctly it's just that some of the blisters are delayed, because that patch of skin didn't get enough toxin to blister right away, and only did so once the general immune response in that area was solidly underway. In any event, this claim would need a citation. If you can find one, I can help you format it correctly.
« Virginia creeper should be listed on the poisonous plant list for Ct. » - This doesn't belong at all. It's not encyclopedic style to make prescriptive statements like that.

Sorry to revert your edit, but again I'm happy to chat with you about how to contribute. (By the way, it would be super useful for you to create an account; that can make communication easier.) -- Phyzome (talk) 01:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
