There is no poison ivy in Alaska. None.But my opinion is that there aren't any places that are supposed to itch. I have lots of sympathy for itching, because of a love/hate relationship between poison ivy and me . I hate poison ivy with a passion, but it must love me, because it throws itself at me whenever I get near. I think it blows urushiol-laden kisses at me, because I get patches of poison ivy rash in places I know no leaf has been (you'd think I'd see a plant touch my face, wouldn't you?)![]()
