Default Poison ivy question.

"perrylep" expounded:

When is poison ivy not considered "dead"..iow...if you spray poison ivy with
a weed/brush killer and the foliage is all brown and dead, is the irritant
in poison ivy still a problem?
Perry

Yes, it is still a problem, the oils that cause the rash are still
present in the plant material. Do not burn it! Remove it (with
gloves) toss into a trashbag and bring it to the dump.
