Hello everyone,
I've never had poison ivy. I've never even seen poison ivy! But after the Woe Is Me posting, and subsequent stories, I have begun to educate myself...because I don't want to get poison ivy! It has been suggested that those who get a bad case of PI should receive the Purple Heart...that traveling stamp for LBNA members suffering injury in the line of letterboxing. Well, I would like to create the Poison Ivy Sympathy Kit...which will travel to anyone who is willing to sign up by sharing their poison ivy horror story with the group. No case too small!
If you want to receive the Poison Ivy Sympathy Kit, post your story if you haven't already done so, then send my your mailing address privately...I'm at SheWhoPlants at aol dot com.
Thinking soothing thoughts,
She Who Plants

Somewhere along the way in May, I backed into two poison ivy plants, since I
have two lines of it up the back of my legs (not anywhere else, but two lines
up the back of my legs! I think that's odd....) Then, which could have made
matters worse, I went to Cape Cod, which is littered with poison ivy! Many of
the boxes were right in the middle of poison ivy patches, but much to my
surprise, the salt water helped, and I didn't get any new patches of poison ivy on
my body!
Let's hope that this is my LAST outbreak of the season!

A few weeks ago, I went to check on one of my
letterbox placements to see whether or not the vines
covering is in March were indeed poison ivy. I
discovered that some of them were. I had my gloves on
and a hand pruner to cut back some of the offensive
growth from the vicinity of the box. I must have used
my glove later to flick away pesky insects for, a
couple of days later, I had poison ivy on my ear lobe,
the tip of my nose, one eyelid and at one corner of my
mouth. Fortunately it wasn't a bad case and I very
intentionally did not touch or rub the areas except to
daub on Calodryl lotion. It was gone in a week and a
half.
