[Nemo]

Hey Can anyone here tell me whether this is Poison Ivy or not?

 

 

Saw tons of it in the campsite in APP and just wanted tomake sure so I could ID for next time.

 

Thanks

Sure looks like poison ivy to me Nemo.

How was your trip? Anything to report?

Nasty stuff

Just went out and took a few shots of stuff that grows in the yard. It comes in many shapes and forms...some as tall as 4 feet at times...and i'm not talking about the stuff in the first picture...just the poison ivy! LOL

 

And before I find a wack of pickers in the yard...that's hemp.. missing the secret ingrediant unfortunately or I'd be much wealthier!

the plants on the left look like poison ivy, not the one on the right. If you want to know more about poison ivy, this link is very informative, but beware, its not for the squeamish.

Very nasty if your sensitive to it.

If you are clearing brush with PI in it, don't burn it whatever you do. The irritant oil gets airborn and if you breathe some of the smoke into your lungs, you gotta whole world of hurt ahead of you.

 

I'm very sensitive to the stuff and when I was a kid, could have added some photos to that gallery. Now, I keep antihistimines and cortisone cream handy. If it's more than just a few blisters, I go to the doc for prednisone pills. Clears it up in a day, with relief from the crazy itching in just a few hours.

Just a little unsolicited advice . . . . when in the Niagara Gorge, and Mother Nature calls, DO NOT, I repeat . . . DO NOT use the nice 3 leafed toilet paper provided, that grows everywhere. It's VERY embarassing to have to got to the Emergency ward of the nearest hospital at 03:00 and explain how this happened. I'll say one thing for the people there though, they tried REALLY hard not to grin while applying an anti-histimene lotion to the SEVERELY affected area!

LOL @ photoz...

please dont tell me that occured to a "friend of a friend" of your's...LOL

[pikehunter]

I guess you carry your own TP with you everywhere you go from then on Photoz. After that incident I wouldn't leave home without it!

[Motorhead]

I`m one of the lucky ones... I could roll around in the stuff all day and not so much as a scratch... Even rubbed it on my arm when a friend said it was impossible to not be allergic... Not that I`d want to try what Photoz did ... OUCH
