How to identify poison ivy.
Thanks for sharing this information.
Im on a riverfront in oregon, with wooded acreage.. Ive been hearing that the poison oak ivy and sumac are territorial and only poison oak is in my area of country. I have found all three and there is an abundance of both oak and ivy. Sumac that is not staghorn, it is smooth leaved not the ornamental look alike with same white berry clusters.. I was immune for 50 yrs but that changed. I need to clear brush/fuel and it is too much. How to deal or eliminate large areas where it infiltrates good foliage?
Thank you for this video it was very helpful
Maria. Thanks!
OMG I have an ivy rash on my neck today . So once again I am scrolling videos looking at poison ivys . I have been working in the garden but have been careful . Just looked at my dogs paw and she has a little red rash in between one of her paws . I would have never guessed . So I gave her a really good bath and scrubbed her paws . Waiting on a vet call . Any other advice what to do with her ? Ty for the great video!
I know that rash is very aggravating. I think the worst case of poison ivy rash I ever had was from petting my dog. The dog was excited and was jumping around. I got the rash all over my hands, arms, and neck.
Thx
Just my 2 cents...wash off with soap and cold water. Warm water will open your pores and allow the oil to get deeper in the skin. Aloe Vera gel works well, for me anyway, to calm the itch and heal the rash.
I shot a whitetail back in 2015, I got poison ivy or oak horrible from the deer's antlers.
Wow!! Never thought of that but can definitely see it happening especially if the buck was rubbing off velvet or marking territory during rut.
So animals are not allergic to poison ivy & sumac?
Great question!! I know my farm dogs have never had any issues with poison oak or ivy. That’s going back 30 years. I wonder about city or house pups that are not around those environments and then get in touch with the poison oak or ivy.
I’ve had it all over me a million times and I’ve never been allergic to it luckily but I was working on a carpentry job out in the woods this week and I’ll be damned I have a couple little tiny watery itchy blisters on the back of my hand!! Guess I can’t claim that anymore lol
Hi. Sometimes it will get you. I seem to have better immunity as I get older but I’m also more conscious of being around it. I did get it two years ago on the inside of my elbow really bad.
I have poison ivy in my yard....found out the hard way.
Yeah, that does not sound fun. It's always the worst way to find out. i got it late last summer on my hand. I guess i just missed washing it off in time.
Poison ivy very commonly isn't a vine. Poison oak can be a vine. The forms of each vary more than just that. Probably varies regionally. Growing up in WI we had plenty of poison Ivy and none I remember was ever a vine.
You showed poison ivy instead of poison oak. 2:00
That’s oak. If it’s growing vertically up trees etc, we call it ivy. It’s all nasty stuff.
DOES NOT EFFECT ME! AS A KID I WOULD CHASE MY COUSINS AROUND RUBBING IT ON THEM THEN LAUGHING! UNTIL GRANDMA WOULD BLISTER MY HIDE! IT DOESNT MAKE EVERYONE ITCH
Funny story!
Very True. My Mother-in-law is like you. She will cut over poison oak on the edge of her lawn with a push mower. I've seen her pull it up by hand and never break out. On the other hand most of us would (especially me) would end up at the doc's office getting a shot if we didn't wash it off.
FREEBIRD FREEDOM Same here I have Poison oak growing on the side of my house my kids&I are immune the wife NOT AT ALL.
Go to HELL
