Lawyers, better said law firms are one of the largest evils in the world and especially in the U.S. ! Just look at this: https://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahom...f-portable-gas-cans-is-going-out-of-business/

That is why I say take off al, warning labels and go back to Darwinism.

Personally, I do like the existence of warning labels. I read them--and then decide whether to follow them. Since I'm still posting, I obviously haven't died of anything yet

I had no idea anyone that close to me was on here? Is your husband from Snook? It sounds like something one of my less than enlightened cousins from Snook would do

I am a widow, he passed in 2014. He was born and raised in Caldwell. I now live about a mile from Lyons. He was a typical Czech

Sorry for your loss. My Fathers Father was from Caldwell. New Tabor actually. Your Husbands name is a better Czech name than mine. Mine has a lot more vowels to consonants .

I spent 12 years working as the head naturalist in an Ontario Provincial Park. If poison ivy was a a cash crop, we would be rich. Teaching people how to identify it was the first thing we did with every group or camper.
Leaves of three, let it be; Berries of white, take flight. The middle leaf always has a longer stem than the two side leaves. In the spring we would dig up a small plant and put it in an aquarium to use as an example.

We have a singer/songerwriter who likes to write songs about nature and the parks and will tour the parks with his songs. Here is a little excerpt of the Poison Ivy Song put out by Parks Ontario. (no, neither of those staff are me) Hopefully the link will work.

Letting people know that they can get it from their dogs was a great way to encourage them to keep the dog on a leash (as per park rules!). If you think you have come in contact, wash as soon as possible with soap and water. Do not use just water as that only spreads the oils. These oils are present in all parts of the plant.

As others have said, once you have had it, especially a bad case, you are more sensitive and will get it much easier and probably worse. And some people never get it. However, just because they haven't got it yet, doesn't mean they will never get it.

You are doing great!!! ❤❤​

Yes, explaining that you should not hug Fido or Tigger when they just came back from a stroll in the bushes, because they may have encountered some poisonous ivy. oak, sumach, … is very important! - The delay between coming into contact with the oil and the reaction to it makes this stuff so annoying. Thistles and stinging nettles are ok, you touch'em and it burns or stings immediately.

I have to be careful not to weed eat the stuff and have it fling up on me.

Oh yes! - Wear eye protection and a mask! - I hate to work in protective gear, you sweat like in a sauna, it runs into your eyes and burns - Yuck!

Just kidding! This is how it looks like from below the sail:

And some more pictures from different angles:

The duck in the foreground is Limpy Drake! - He really enjoys the shade.

Exactly how i handle it too! - I'm grown up, don't baby me!

Oh and by the way here are some pictures from the plant of evil. First the rank attached to the poor pine tree:

More close-up look of the leaves and you can already see the RoundUp starting to do its job:

That is Poison Ivy, isn't it? - Three leaves, the middle leaf has a longer stem…
