[QUOTE="keista, post: 539139, member: 11965"] The sell stuff to kill off poison ivy and oak and other nasty invasive vines/plants. After yard work, strip immediately and shower with a good degreasing dish soap. Girl Scouts recommend the yellow bar of Fells Naptha, but I think any degreaser will do. Wash those clothes separately. Scary thing is that you don't even have to touch the stuff to get a reaction. If it somehow gets aerated (for example you mow over it) you can get a reaction. One year at summer cam I got a really bad case and I never came in contact with it. We determined I got it from the smoke. You see, old tent platforms were stacked in a pile and we were told we could use that wood for campfires. Turns out poison ivy was growing up through the pile. the guys wore glove processing the wood, but the poison ivy oils were already on it so when they got burned the oils got carried in the smoke. Out of about 150 at the camp, me and my friend Eddie were the only ones to get it this way. [/QUOTE]
