I was just going through my photo album and came upon pics from last April's brush with the poison ivy. Seems every year or two I somehow get into the stuff and I swell up like a watermelon, not a pleasant experience. On the bright side there is a full dose of Methylprednisolone steroids sitting in my medicine cabinet, ready for the next "incident".
So my situation is this: new tractor, need a rear mower, preferably a flail mower. I know there is poison ivy scattered throughout my property, and every year it is in a different place thanks to the birds eating the berries and pooping at will. If (and when) the mower hits a patch of the ivy, what can I expect to happen? I of course imagine the worst, a cloud of oil in the air, the entire mower contaminated and poor old me popping steroids all summer long.
I am sure I can't be alone in this conundrum - any other poison ivy sufferers out there with some advice??
