I can't imagine what it must be like to deal with this beast when you have a large area it has taken over.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment on the 'garden bloggers' blog, really appreciate the feedback.MrBrownThumbhttp://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-24254292752452480842009-11-01T10:23:02.935-05:002009-11-01T10:23:02.935-05:00Excellent point, Nell Jeam, about not bathing in h...Excellent point, Nell Jeam, about not bathing in hot water after PI exposure. Also good idea not to use soap unless it is a specific PI-wash. Both ot water & soap open up your pores and make the ittirtant enter further, cool water - even using a garden hose outside will rinse it off.<br /> Yeah, animals are good for that - and you never know sometimes how you were exposed.WashingtonGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950523974356540767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16905485.post-47836306191238895052009-10-31T17:59:49.322-04:002009-10-31T17:59:49.322-04:00Hi, I found my way here by way of Blotanical.
I ...Hi, I found my way here by way of Blotanical. <br /><br />I do what you do with the plastic bags over the arm. <br /><br />The only tip I didn't see here is to bathe in cold water, not hot. There is a rationale concerning heat spreading the urushiol from the plant and also warm water opens the pores. We're just trying to get the stuff washed off.<br /><br />I'm always afraid the dog is going to bring me some, too.Nell Jeanhttp://www.seedscatterer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
