Poison Ivy - How It Looks, Where It Grows & Affected Skin

[@niceviewoverthere4463]

Interesting. Always wondered what poison ivy was. We don't seem to have it in this part of Australia but we do have some broad leaved ground cover that isn't kind to human skin. Hope your rashes clear easily. ..and that the tree survives :)

As far as I understand, the rashes clear up in 2 to 3 weeks. 🤦‍♀️ It's so difficult not to scratch them because they itch like crazy.

From what I hear about Australia, there are a lot of things that are not too kind to humans down under. Which is you favorite thing about Australia?

Oz is a good place to live. Where I live in the suburbs, the only venomous creature is a redback spider that lives down a hole by the water stop cock on the footpath. Favourite things? Safety, fair climate (choice of many - it's a big country), freedom, no covids where I am and decent police. Just beware Drop Bears (google them). We tell tourists about them :)

Ok, now, I am confused, are you pulling my leg even before I became a tourist in Australia? 😅

Very scary. You are brave, I wouldn’t dare to try to remove poison ivy on my own. I would just try to move houses 😉.
