    either Oak or Ivy yes
    don't know which 
    is which. More than once 
    as a kid. maybe one of each...
         Do you know what the difference is?
    I wouldn't think that was poison Ivy...
    what are the signs?
    ...just a three leaf green plant? This post was edited by Baba at March 5, 2018 7:16 AM MST

    The substance that causes the rash is urushiol. It occurs n variuos plants and is a real pin in the ass...and other places.

    Sounds good!

    That'd be the silver lining to poison ivy.

  • No, but I fell butt-first into some prickly pears once and spent an afternoon with my sister-in-law pulling them out with tweezers.  Don't get any ideas, I would never have anything to do with the lunatic. :P

    Only once during a camping trip.   Sorry, there is no interesting story to go with it.  It happened.  I scratched and it faded.

    The end.
