What plants are hazardous for you? Share your experiences, with a comment below, about studying a poisonous or hazardous plant. You might also share a story of your encounter with a plant such as poison ivy.
I am allergic to poison ivy poison sumac and poison oak I think in my 43 years have come in contact with all them. One time I sat in something on raft trip boy it was awlful glad you added this to your series lol maybe I will learn to stay away from poisonious plants now
In my opion, you should look up jewelweed. This is a plant that can grow right next to poison ivy, sumac, and oak , it has a fleshy stem you can crush on your skin and will prevent you from poison breakouts as well as cure it and will stop the itch within minutes of application. I collect it and cook a batch of it up and refridgerate it. I always rub it on my legs and arms n hands before I go into or around the woods and I have walked through great patches of poison without ever getting it. 🙂
