Nice info! I'm lucky though. I'm not allergic to any of these! Very lucky I am indeed! To prove it I rub it on myself to be sure, havn't gotten a rash so, not allergic I guess.

My books say if you live long enough you will eventually become allergic to it stop pushing your luck a bad case can put you in the hospital.

Thats great if your right at the house. But me I'm usually up a tree or in the woods and cant get soap and water right away.

Look up a plant called Plantian. It is a weed that grows pretty much everywhere. Crush up the leaves and addly it to your skin. It works great, it is also good to take the itch out of insect bites.

That's true. I grew up in the swamps of southern LA, ran through the stuff every day and never got affected. THat has changed in the last decade however. I gotta wear heavy leather gloves to pull a dead vine like in the pix or I'll get it for sure!
