This plant appears to be from the holly family and grows wild in the High Sierras. It does not look to me like a poison oak/ivy type but my grandson has hives all over after playing near/in it and also a fever. Anybody know this one?

I certainly hope your grandson gets well very soon. Please make sure he sees a doctor since he is having fever from this. Allergies can have a way of escalating over time & it's possible that in future he could become anaphylactic to this plant or family of plants so that should be watched very closely.

That is great news to hear George. I'm sure he will be back to his usual self in no time considering how resilient kids are.

This looks more like Live Oak. That being said the Sierra is chock full of Poison Oak. No telling what his reaction is from without testing. I get bitten by nosee-ums up there and have large hives at every bite.
