A friend of mine has a vacation home near me that I have been taking care of for quite a few years now.
A couple weeks ago, his brother decided he was going to tackle clearing some of the bank back with a weedeater. I went down to mow the yard yesterday, and wasn't prepared for what I found.
Poison Ivy and poison Oak growing, in the yard, up to 20 feet away from the bank. With the wind blowing the way it was, I ended up with a little bit of a rash on my face and neck.
About 20 years ago I was weedeating, without safety glasses, and ended up inadvertantly cutting poison ivy and getting it into my eyes. I wore eye patches, and use a cane to feel my way around for 2 weeks over that incident.
Lot's of safety concerns to be aware of here.........be careful out there.
