Is this poison ivy?

[Meatatarian]

Those are Aloe Vera plants. Just pull the leaves and rub them on your dry skin. LOL!!!

Yes it is. It can also change at any time. I found out the hard way.

Yup. I used to get it bad when I was younger. Now it barely bothers me. I might get one or two little bumps, and that's it goes away after a few days. Technu is good stuff as well. They make a wash for the oil and creams.

Thanks. I already did the dawn scrub down.

If I were closer I'd come get it out for ya. I have never had a reaction to it.(knock on wood).

Not what I wanted to hear.

Since you appear to have it in your flower beds, you can get suited up in long sleeves and rubber gloves, then put on a pair of cheapie cloth/canvas gloves and mix up some Round Up or Remedy and put it in a bucket. you can dip your gloved fingers in the solution and rub the leaves with it. That will kill it back to the roots without destroying the other plants in your beds. If you just pull it out or cut it, each root will make a new plant. It's easy to kill with the chemicals. If you don't want to chance having another outbreak, hire a service to come do it for you. That's some nasty stuff any way you go at it if you're allergic to the oil.
Good luck!

Guilt by association. Going to pick up some round up brush killer tomorrow and multiple plants will die.

Btw, that rash was from about 3 weeks ago from working down around La Pryor.

It gets me about once a year, I'd probably round up
the whole flower bed and start over. I hate that stuff.

[brianlg31]

I'm itching just looking at it!

[marshman]

whats worse, poison ivy, poison oak or poision sumac? i'm guessing it would how each individual reacts to them.

Howdy James. Looks like poison ivy. Like the General said too, could be a bunch of box elder sprouts. Its growing in Liriope. The pattern of the the sprouts makes me wanna say that if you pilfer through the liriope youll likely find a runner (horizontal stem/vine) laying on top of the soil or very shallow in the topsoil horizon and the leaves are coming up to get sunlight. Pull that runner easy peasy and you should be able to track it back to the root. I think Saltwaters trick is slick and likely to work. But will likely only work if there are leaves.

Pilfer/fish it out of the groundcover. Flake it (leave it intact, just on top of the groundcover). Poison the ivy (with SaltwaterSlicks trick). And wait. Itll take several days for necrosis to really set in and the chemicals to do their job of inhibiting photosynthesis (roundup).

Do not burn poison ivy...ever....ever...ever...ever. Anytime you see somebody throw a hairy log on a fire....run...douse out the fire...or go TBH Firewalker Chuck Norris style and execute a roundhouse to kick it out of the fire. You can and will get poison ivy in your lungs. Its great way to die.

Neat fact: Cashews are in the same plant family as poison ivy. If cashew nuts werent roasted and oil extracted, we'd all have caustic burns from the natural cashew plant oils.

My experience as well. Used to never even look out for it since it never bothered me. Then i think i got a mild outbreak last fall, a pretty ugly outbreak this spring, and got again now. Am going to have to be more careful .....
