a risk of some wicked allergic reaction. Hi Stormin, I have a few red bubbly spots on me, but it's not too bad yet. Mostly it's on my left wrist and right ankle and the back of my neck. I'm very surprised my eyes don't itch since I kept getting chips caught in my eye, and my camera & chainsaw have to be covered in urushiol too! I cleaned the camera with rubbing alcohol (but I'm not sure if that actually works) - but the strap needs cleaning somehow. I've not yet reacted to poison ivy, but know friends who are super sensitive. I looked it up in gory detail. NOBODY is ever immune. Eventually everyone gets it (unless they die first). It's like being in war. Just because the first bullets didn't get you doesn't mean your cell mediated immune reactions won't at some point kick in and the next one is the one you regret. Note: Actually, I'm told people with AIDS don't get it, but that's a special case. fire releases the poison into the air Yes. I know. Inside your body, the immune reaction can kill you. Wonder if the local municipality has chipper shredders to do this job? I called the waste company - they just told me they won't take it. Luckily I have a 4-inch chipper, but it's a royal pain getting anything down the chute (I'm sorry I bought that loud monstrosity). |
