HIKING WITH POISON IVY IN SIGHT
Poison ivy is one of the more beautiful plants, trimmed out with red berries and three leaves. I've seen it harbored in rock faces, in woodlands, in sandy loam and in thick forests. Hardy and drought tolerant, sometimes irresistibly touchable!
And if ' the one who touches' is allergic to poison ivy, they'll be stuck in a world of misery a few weeks, at minimum. Just ask a former friend of mine....

Many years ago, I worked with a lady who had went on a camping trip. I noticed that she was walking bow-legged through the office, and so I asked if she were okay. "Yep. Just went campin' and had to take a whiz. I'm allergic to poison ivy and unfortunately, it was dark, and I whizzed in the wrong area."
The unfortunate lady was so miserable that she went on to inform me that she had foregone her undergear until her rash cleared. It was a bit more information than I wanted to know, and just getting that off my chest makes me feel so much better now....
