I know that about 10 years ago I got a horrible rash from hardwood mulch.
But just so you know, eucalyptus is an irritant to the skin for most folks.

Has anyone ever heard of getting poison ivy/oak/ or sumac from mulch??? A
couple of weeks ago I decided to try this black Eucalyptus mulch and three
days later I awoke with this weeping rash that I had to go get a cortizone
shot for today. One of my customers said they got poison sumac from mulch
and it took a while to heal??? Is this true???
