[AT] OT war on poison ivy

[Stephen Offiler]

If you're suggesting my problem is lack of recognition, false.  I certainly
don't need help in that regard.  I grew up around this stuff, and 57 years
later I've seen it tens of thousands of times.  That's the problem.  It's
everywhere.  I would need to run back to the house every couple hours to
scrub in order to have any success with the pre-emptive method you seem to
be promoting.  I tend to get 2-3 rashes a year, despite hundreds or maybe
thousands of "potential" exposures.  So there you go.  I can only
differentiate a potential exposure from a real one when the rash shows up.
