walshie 2,804 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The most important topic of today has to be me once again being a brave soldier. I put my hand in some poison ivy earlier and it has swollen up like a boxing glove. I didn't realise it did that so quickly. No need for messages of sympathy, I'll probably be ok in a couple of months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Oh. So, what was she doing with it? I thought it was a non native plant. Found in America. Do people put it in gardens then? Genuinely interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Genuinely interested thought that was poison oak English ivy (pictured right) – which is the type that you see climbing walls and in hanging baskets and window boxes – isn’t harmful, although you should still be careful when handling it if you have sensitive skin as its sap can be irritating. soft hands mr washie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 thought that was poison oak Dunno. Wasn't that song, " Poison Ivy " American? I'd always assumed so. They have " Hemlock " too. I don't know if there's is poisonous? I'm pretty sure it's a tree though. Where as ours is, of course, an Umbellifer plant. Similar to Cow Parsley. And perfectly poisonous. Never heard about helix effecting anyone before. Goats eat the shit like its going out of fashion. But, then; Look at the state of their eyes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's so strange.For the time that I've kept chickens/ducks I've never had a complaint, but this past month, every time I clean the chickens out I'm in agony with my sinuses for two days after?

Damned if I know what it was then. It was climbing up a wall and on a tree, but it doesn't look like English Ivy (not pictured) The leaves are a bit bigger, dark green and shiny. Going to dip my other hand in it now so I've got a pair of massive fists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
