[AT] Poison Ivy

[Will Mail]

I hate poison ivy. I’m on 10 acres of mostly old growth forest and it’s everywhere. When I had goats they would eat it. 

I remember getting it in my mouth and up my nose. In high school I knew a girl whose brother used it as toilet paper when he was playing in the woods. Put him in the hospital....

The link below is from a gardening guy on the radio in philly. He always takes a non herbicide approach. Some different techniques presented.

Some got reactions in their respiratory system and others the smoke went through their clothes and affected the skin underneath. And for an unfortunate one I remember reactions around his privates as needing to relieve himself in the woods.
