No good deed ever goes unpunished!!! - Part II 😜

Well, not me, but i'm not so sure about the Canadians: Temperatures of -3 to -5°C (mid 20's F) and these guys were in T-Shirts, complaining about the warmth… They could have hugged anything by accident! (Yes, some ethanol was involved too…)

At least it's polite enough to lose its leaves then, and reduce the possible contact surface. To be nice to the Canadians.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones. Never had a reaction to poison Ivy or oak which is very abundant here. Bull nettle, on the other hand like a Jalapeño pepper on steroids

Good Grief! - Bull Nettle! - Thats sounds like a stinging nettle on steroids! But at least the seed are edible and taste good. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnidoscolus_texanus
I don't remember where i was warned not to walk out into the prairie (I think it was in Colorado), because the seed pods of the grass would wiggle through even the thickest jeans, causing itchiness and skin-rash.
Worse: By the time you're aware of them and start walking back, after having removed them from your clothes you would have to walk back through that grass again and being covered with that cr@p for a second time, increasing the itch and the rash threefold.

Bull nettle? What the hey is bull nettle? Never heard of it! Does it live in SE MO? Never mind, I never leave the house because of tiggers n chicks anyway. Or chiggers n ticks. Whatever. Biting, stinging, blood-sucking insects.

I assume those Canadians could have touched it without harm, if your unprotected skin can withstand freezing temperatures…
Are you from Hungary or Romania? - I mean because of your account-name, i loved the double chocolate Kokosh cake in Transsylvania!

Chocolate? Cake???? Oh maaaaan! Never fails? I'm trying to get sleepy and somebody makes me salivate!

Bull nettle just pops up in pastures. Btw I have a problem with chiggers here.some evenings after doing duck duties I come in with a dozen bites. Keep the hydrocortisone coming.

Bulgaria, and my screen name means “hen”... so a double chocolate kokosh cake doesn’t sound particularly appetizing

Chicken (Pot) Pie though... MMmm

As long as there's no chocolate involved!

@WannaBeHillBilly have you taken any Benadryl? It helps block some of the itchy sensors our body has.
