[AT] OT war on poison ivy

[Dennis Johnson]

When I have been mowing poison sumac, I go in and remove cloths, turn then inside out, and shower and put on fresh clothes. This usually helps keep me from getting a rash. Normally I can get mowing or pulling up/cutting bushes in about 3 hours.

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.

Learning to recognize poison ivy in its many different disguises is important. I do not know how at the moment to help with that.
