Allen I thought you might really appreciate this story. I am fortunately not
be allergic to poison ivy which means of course that I didn't even bother to
find out what it looks like. I had to make 60 arrangements for a PTO potluck
dinner in the fall. I scooped out pumpkins as the base. I did not have
enough flowers I decided to comb the neighborhood and use foliage leaves. I
cut and arranged poison ivy in each arrangement. Thankfully my husband came
home and he knows what it looks like. Could you imagine all those people that
I might of exposed. From that much exposure, cutting and arranging it, I did
end up with one small rash that lasted two days. I, of course, took it out of
the arrangements and put in other foliage. I was giving all the arrangements
away that night. It would have been unbelieveable if my husband hadn't known.
