Oh, not Sylvia. It is the last to green in the spring and the first to brown in the winter. (May not be a problem in Florida, though.) Goats are a great idea. They will eat anything. I hear it’s dangerous to burn poison ivy or oak. The fumes in your lungs can cause an allergic reaction.

Inhaling smoke from burning poison oak or poison ivy will hospitalize you with serious breathing difficulties, but even exposure to skin is a very bad idea. You’ll get the rash just as surely from the smoke as you will from contact with the plants themselves, if you’re among the majority who have an allergic reaction to it. I’ve never experienced it, even after playing in it with friends as a child. Those friends all got it, I didn’t. Sort of odd because I had all manner of other contact dermatitis as a child, just not that one.
