Ugh! I was making great progress clearing a back garden bed. The I saw it. Poison Ivy!!!!! [View all]

I actually had contact with some yesterday and rinsed my arms with vinegar. BUT I missed a section on my wrist and now I have 3 blisters.

I refilled the 'Brush Kill' and gave the PI a good dousing. And I need to refill my spray bottle of vinegar that I keep in my gardening basket. One year I really got into a mess and had blisters all over my arms and legs. Then someone told me about the preventative vinegar spray that you just occasionally use, whether you see one of those evil 3 leaf plants or not. Because, let's face it. Sometimes they can be right in front of you but you don't pay attention. Well, that applies to me, anyway.
