I remember the nasty stinging rash well from when I was a kid! Plants are so interesting, aren't they? I haven't been so well lately and as I lay in bed this past week I reread Where The Lilies Bloom -- do any of you remember that one? Those kids "wildcrafting" in the mountains, looking for all sorts of medicinal plants, trying to tell the poisonous ones from the useful ones...Milou Koeningshttp://www.miloukoenings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-79668278514361175912014-06-28T20:51:47.135-07:002014-06-28T20:51:47.135-07:00Denise, so sorry you have the itch from poison ivy...Denise, so sorry you have the itch from poison ivy. You are right about getting it from the fur of your pets. I couldn't figure out why I kept getting the rash on my forearms until I connected it to picking up our cats who had been roaming in the woods near our house.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-58612647779421246102014-06-28T17:43:07.182-07:002014-06-28T17:43:07.182-07:00I don't think we get it down here in NZ - mayb...I don't think we get it down here in NZ - maybe we do but its rare.

I once came into contact with poison oak while visiting relatives in Missouri. I thought I had some terrible skin disease and didn't know what to do. I'm an Arizona girl. I know what to do about sunburn and cactus spines (small, fine ones, pour on white glue, let it dry and peel it off; big ones, get out the pliers), but not a clue about poison oak. I ended up at the doctor's office with my legs covered in the stuff. At least I'll recognize it if I ever come across it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
