We make lemonade out of the red sumac buds (not the yellow orange, those are poisonous) and haven’t known anyone personally to have a reaction to the leaves, but I’ve heard of people reacting to them.
Hi Kelly,
I never heard of making lemonade out of red sumac buds but that is very interesting. I have a niece and a friend who is highly allergic to sumac. It is a bad a poison ivy. My niece got it when she was just a little girl and my sister had to take her to the doctors to get a shot to get under control. It was all over her little body. I felt so bad for her. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a healthy, happy & blessed day!
