Poison Ivy

I hate poison ivy... it is all over my yard! FH is highly allergic. Since we moved in back Oct, he has had two really bad break outs. I bought this stuff to spray all over it, but I don't think it worked. So today, I spent outside with my gloves and long sleeves on removing it. I am praying I do not break out I don't think I am allergic, because everytime FH has had it, I didn't get it. Just the thought though is making me itchy! I hope I got it all....

I would also use the spray in the areas that were covered with it, just as insurance.
I hope you dont get it.

You can hire someone to remove it.

If it's all over, I would definately see if you can get someone to remove it. I didn't used to get it when I was younger but now, I think if I go within a 20 mile vacinity (exaggerating but you know what I mean!) I get it really bad. DH too. I checked into it the last time I had it, and apparently, the first time you are exposed, you don't generally get it,but then once it's in your system, you may get it after that. And you have to be really careful of cleaning your clothes or anything that touches it (pets too)- the oil stays on the clothes and then you can get it again - the last time we got it (and it was the winter when I thought it was dorment) we must have had new breakouts for weeks!
Good luck!
