This poor lady that worked with me broke out in the most awful rash one day and it turned out that she was pulling some roots the day before that were sticking up out of the ground by her swing, never dreaming that they were poison ivy roots. She apparently then rubbed her face and eyes. It was not a pretty sight.

Pinging my brother. He got into some camping, and I think they burned some in the campfire, he swelled up so bad he couldn't see. Bad thing was, they were on an island, and he was the one who knew how to get home in the boat ;~D "OK - do you see water and pieces of land with trees on it? head towards ummm... well... sortof south."

LOL! Sorry to laugh, but I can just imagine what must've been going on.

The worst case I ever got was when I was about 12 and my favorite fishing hole required that I slide down a creek bank to get there. I don't know how, but my whole butt got covered in poison ivy, plus my hands and the bends of my knees. I was totally miserable for about 2 weeks. That's kind of an awkward place to need to scratch.
