Poison ivy. I can spot that leaf set from 40 paces.

LOL! Me too. I spied it in the rain, at night from about 20 paces and it was only an inch sprout!

Last year was the first time I've ever broken out from poison ivy. Boy that was awful. Anyway, now I have just about rid the yard of it, including some vining up a tree. I go around about once a week with the brush-b-gone.

Of course, our neighbors are trying to land in the recordbooks for the most poison ivy in a set area. I've killed back there's from our property.

I told the head groundskeeper at work that I would tote Round Up with me if he wanted, and I would kill it I come across it.

Hubby thinks I'm a tad obsessed. I call it preventative measures. With 3 boys, I sure don't want one of them getting poison ivy, oldest already had it this year, on his neck and face.

Sorry for the rambling post.

Thanks for the ping. I'm so allergic to poison ivy I'll probably break out with it just for reading your post.



Ugh. The inside of my arms already itch.

You can get it from their clothing too. It happened to my mother. My Dad was immune most of his life so he wasn't careful where he stepped while he was running fences. Mom got a terrible case just from dad's overalls.
