Having two 2100’s got me the job

[Huskybill]

We had a very bad hurricane blow through once. In the state forest it took down a monster maple tree. That was blocking the access road. I got the call knowing I had big saws the ranger said. I cut like 8 cords of firewood off that one tree. There was three ivory vines larger than a quarter (25cents) on the trunk. I waited till we had a pouring rain storm to keep the poison ivory dust down. I get the poison ivory injection every year. I cut it up in the pouring rain. Washing my exposed skin with 2t mix everytime I gassed up.

Now my point, I didn’t know it was bow season. I felt something was looking at me. I had a 36” bar on the 2100. I turned around and behind me is a bow hunter in full camo. If I was the jumpy kind the saw could be out of the cut and pointing at him behind me. He could of been cut in half.
Close calls. Not smart to spook a guy with a chainsaw from behind. If your a bow hunter or cutting in the fall look out.

Get some poison ivory soap.

I'm smart around poison ivy but can't ever remember having a reaction. My brother just looks at it and gets it bad.

That's strange. I have never had a reaction to poison ivy either. My brother gets it so bad that he has to go to the hospital and get steroids when he gets exposed. I have never seen anyone have a reaction like he does. Being the good brother I am, I usually rub it in a little bit for humor, he calls me a few choice names

 

[Jasonrkba]

Same here. I don't get it and my older brother does.

 

[Huskybill]

I was getting it really bad till I got the injections for it around March.

There's got to be something better than dumping gas on your skin!

 

[ericm979]

Scrubbing with soap and water works.

What are these injections?

Probably the only situation where 25:1 is actually needed.

I’d get injections and pills too. The poison ivory would clear right up.

Prednisone (steroid)

My younger brother is the same way just looks at it and has a rash. I could roll around in it and get nothing. I'd trade him any day if he would take my black out reaction to wasp hornets and yellow jacket stings.

What if the bees build nests in the poison ivory?

 

[ericm979]

Prednisone (steroid)

Bummer. I was hoping there was a peventative shot I hadn't heard of.
I've had to take prednisone pills due to poison oak and it really sucks. I really do not want any more.

WTF IS Poison IVORY? Is this like some strange animal that has tusks and is in the woods where Husky Bill cuts at?

Yes.

Some people, me included, need a spell check program. It tries to guess what you need in a situation. So if you spell ivy like ivry it may put ivory into the spot.

 

[Huskybill]

I wash with lava soap too I’m thinking it has plenty of lye in it. It’s good on sweat and heat rash too.

Thanks @Huskybill , I read this thread and now due to having poison ivy on my mind I can’t sleep. I’m just kidding but I get the stuff bad these days.

My twin brother always got it and super bad like some of you. He would get steroid shots and all. As kids he would get it yet I would not even though we both were together in the same areas. Over the years I started reacting to it and now it will plain jack me up.

If I am in an area where I may have got in it I will shower and wash with lava soap and GoJo orange car cleaner with pumice.
