Is this poison ivy?

The stuff above the regular ivy. Thanks.

1. Yeah. That's it.

Contemptible stuff.

2. Yeah, I have the rash all over my face and neck.

Just trying to figure out where in the yard it was. It was growing over the fence from my neighbor's yard. Grrr. Same neighbor's tree deposited a 35ft long, 3 ft diameter limb in my yard last week. :mad:

3. Oh yuck. It's nicely blending in with your other ivy too.

IF you don't have some already, buy a bottle of Tecnu skin cleanser for ivy and oak. Wash off with Tecnu immediately after working in the area where the poison ivy is and it will help minimize if not eliminate the rash.

4. And I like "Ivy-dry" to dry up the rash...eom

5. If you have the rash a good thing to use is "Domeboro."

It comes in little packets of powder that you dissolve in water. You then put the compresses on the rash.

I work in a pharmacy, and we always keep a box of Domeboro on the shelf. Hospital emergency rooms recommend it highly.

Good luck!

When I first saw your picture, I thought it was a young box elder tree.
