Abstract

The cashew nut tree, or Anacardium occidentale, belongs to the Anacardiaceae family of flowering and fruit-bearing plants. The Anacardiaceae also include poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, the mango tree, the Japanese lacquer tree, the Indian marking nut tree, and the Florida holly (1). The western poison ivy (Toxicodendron rydbergii) is well known for its ability to cause allergic contact dermatitis, owing to the urushiol compounds that it contains. Patients who have been previously sensitized to poison ivy
