PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted February 24, 2015 07:24 AM FYI... If you try to clear poison ivy by burning, or if you burn poisonous vines in a campfire, the oil is spread through the air and 100 percent of your body will be affected. Also if you inhale the smoke your breathing will be affected and you will most likely end up in the hospital. So avoid burning any vines to be safe. IP: Logged

What is the best way to get rid of poison ivy, use bleach or a weed killer? Can you still get a rash from poison ivy after it' shiveled up and dried out? How did I miss this post? If yo ask the reference librarian they will say spray the leaves to kill it. I don't use sprays. I've yanked it out to remove the roots so it doesn't grow back, using disposiibke gloves and fully clothed so I can wash the clothes as soon as I can so not to spread the oil from the plant. I'm not particularly over sensitive, so another way to get rid of it is to ask someone without sensitivity to pull the roots for you The rash comes from the oil and can sho up days later if the oil is on your clothes and you touch it. The rash doesn't spread unless you have new contact with the oil. I'm not sure if the oil is still there after it is dead. I would think so but you may have to make a heavier or longer contact for it to be exposed to you. Good question to research. IP: Logged

It`s a bar of soap to clean skin and then shave it down and add the flakes to hot wash to clean my cloths from the poison. I can buy it locally but if you can`t, Vermont Country Store catalog carries it.

PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted December 16, 2016 10:24 PM Well if it works on oily laundry stains it should work on oily plant residue. When I was growing up every home had a bar of fels naphtha for laundry stains and greasy hands, ones covered in bicycle chain grease or auto grease. I still have a bar and flaked it for my laundry last week when I ran out of laundry soap. Came in handy. IP: Logged
