Last case of poison Ivy I had was two years ago when I was cleaning up some low hanging boughs on some pine trees that were growing along the edge of a big lilac patch. It didn't even occur to me that there could be any PI growing in the lilacs until a couple of days later! Between crawling in it, and chewing it up with the chainsaw and spraying the juice all over, I ended up with a nasty case of oozing, blistering nastiness that made me find my way to the local clinic for a dose of Prednisone. This lasted for four agonizing weeks.
Nowadays, 2,4-D is my closest, most trusted companion when doing grounds keeping, and while I've always known what the hateful stuff looks like, I'm especially attuned to it now. No more letting my guard down and no more surprises!
