mad al 146 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 i remember picking one off these up as a kid and ending up covered in blisters never done it since wonder what caused that then? I had a similar thing happen years back after shooting rabbits, spent a while in a hedgerow and thought I must have come into contact with the sap off summat. Took ages to heal and a couple left scars on my forearm. is it a drinker cat.. God knows Byron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
