So when does poison ivy go away?

Why did you want to catch the snake? When I see one at my house I introduce it to my bush ax.

I like snakes.

About a week ago I was mowing and when I got near one of the apple trees I saw a snake. I jumped off the mower to try and catch it but it was hiding pretty good so I started to tear out the weeds to get to it. I finally caught it and then realized the weeds I was ripping out was poison ivy. I washed my hands but like a dope I didn't use soap, just ran water over my hands and rubbed.

So two or three days go by and I forget all about it till one day these little bumps started showing up on my hands. They are in between my fingers and at all the joints. I have a few on my arms too. They seem to itch worst sometimes more than others. Right now it's driving me nuts. So how long does it take for this stuff to go away? I've never had it like this before and for a while there I didn't think it affected me. :gaah:

ocean watter well dry it up takes 2 to 3 weeks ivry dry and calowmine lottion well help leave snakes alone see lol

If you like snakes so much why don't you come here & catch this one? He has been lurking in the tree by my backdoor. :yikes: I watch very carefully when I step outside now. My husband says we're keeping him so he will keep the rodents down but I say a cat will do the same thing.

That's a Black Rat Snake and a great looking one at that. It won't hurt you and will help keep the rats down in the neighborhood. :thumbup:

Poison Ivy

The best way to get rid of poison ivy is use liquid bleach. Get a hand towel and put some bleach on the towel and put it where the PI is. You will not smell very good but it works. If you have a kiddy pool, load it up with clorine and soak the affected areas. Works fast.
