Nope the dermatologist told us, when I took my daughters in with rashes, that he has seen dozens of cases caused by Virginia Creeper. It's not as bad as poison ivy, but for those allergic to it, the effects are worse.
I, myself, am not allergic to anything like this. But, when my daughters came down with rashes from helping me clear out the flower beds, I deferred to the experts. I just spray it out now. RoundUp has a product for vines.
