Well it looks like I got into the poison ivy again. I been trying to clear more of my property to get ready to do the cabin.It looks like I got too intrested in getting it done and didn't pay enough attention.
Normally I just go and get a steroid shot because if I don't I really end up in a mess. Steroids lower your immunity so if I now have a dilemma.

My husband could pull it up by its roots and never have a reaction. I used to just get it off his clothes when I put them in the washer.
@Lorajay My ex was the same, when we first moved into this house, there was a healthy crop of the vine. After the first time of her catching it that way, after a session of removal, I'd come in strip in front of the washer, then take a long shower. We'd add a little degreaser to the load to make sure that the oils went down the drain and didn't just get redeposited on the clothes. I'm the only one of my siblings that has immunity to it and used that to my advantage growing up. My brother only chased me into it once.
You’re building a cabin? Are you going Native and hiding in the woods?

I want a small cabin to use for Airbnb instead of the room I use inside my home. I believe I will have more customers who will stay longer and I'll make more money.
Then someday, I hope to find a college student who will help me for a little money and free room and board. That should help me age at home and out of a nursing home and my kid's hair longer.
I've had my share of steroids over the years. Will not let a doctor prescribe them. Last time I had poison ivy I used calamine lotion.
