My poison ivy is getting a wart-like growth on the leaves, and they are curling

"Geez, I hope not," he sez tongue in cheek.

What are you doing sitting around watching it instead of trying to
eradicate it? Even if you're not sensitive to it, the corossive (and I
speak from experience) oil in the leaves can be transfered on animal
fur and clothing. Not to mention the plant spreading and seeding to
bring misery to others. It isn't 'cute' to have a pet poison ivy
plant.
