So far I am good, every time I get a little poison ivy I use the bloodroot extract on my skin, a few drops and the attack stops every single time. I am fortunate. Thanks for writing.

We are blessed to live on 30 acres in Central Texas, and (somehow) it is mostly poison ivy-free. Note the caveat. There is a large, half-dead oak across the clearing from our house, festooned with the pernicious stuff. We (read, dear husband and sons) have tried pulling, poisoning, and burning. After these sessions, my intrepid menfolk strip to their skivvies outside, double-bag their clothes, and scrub down with lots of dial soap in a semi-cool shower. I tell our animals (basically, the cats) repeatedly, "Don't go near the nasty tree with the vines. It's a scary, Ba-a-a-a-d place!" Yeah. You know how well cats follow instructions. Fortunately, the cats have other hiding places they like better, and Prednisone still works pretty well for me. I haven't had a round with it in almost two years! Eep...hope I haven't just started something... I feel your pain, dear. We are blessed to live on 30 acres in Central Texas, and (somehow) it is mostly poison ivy-free. Note the caveat.
