[MAIPC] FW: Before You Gobble Gobble Register for Troublesome Vines Webinar

[Richard Gardner]

 Poison ivy - Orange jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) preferable fresh applied directly to dermatitis. During the summer put plants through a food processor. Then store in isopropanol in a quart jar. I use it all the time including a batch several years old.
Over the years, probably as self defense because my father was clueless about it, even at 70 years old, I learned to recognize it in its many forms while trail running and hiking.
Interesting story - It is one of the few woody plants that make an axe ring like a bell. That has happened to me in at least two situations while cutting through thick vines.

I am in contact with poison ivy almost every day during my conservation work at a local park, where I teach my volunteers how to avoid it. While I did react to the plant with moderate intensity as a child, I have never gotten a rash or itch from poison ivy in the past 50 years. Did my body develop the equivalent of a vaccine? Or did my brain figure something out? Marc
