not a big fan of using rubbing alcohol to clean up from poison ivy exposure,
because it removes all naturally-occurring oils from your skin; thus, if you
are re-exposed that same day (say you touch an unwashed tool, or you still
have some on your clothes), your skin will have no protection at all. I
like John Ambler’s Dawn washing method, my only addition to that is make sure
you don’t use hot water (you want to avoid opening the pores in your
skin). </SPAN><U></U><U></U></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>(1) Yes, the oils can remain active even if the plants
are old and dead. Under NO circumstances should the plants (dried or
alive) be burned, the oils can become airborne and breathed in with the
smoke, causing the rash in the lungs.<U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>(2) It depends on where they were discarded and whether
or not they and the soil were moist. It is possible that they might
re-root. <U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>(3) Depending on the situation you are in, the amount
of PI you have on site, and the time line you are working with, you might
also consider fencing in the area and letting goats eat the PI. They are
immune to the toxin. You could also get a dumpster service and place the
PI directly in there so that workers would only have to handle it once.
Also, again depending on how much you have; sleeve-length rubber gloves
might be necessary to protect workers. Lastly, rubbing alcohol dissolves
the oil so have plenty of that on hand. Workers will have 15 minutes from
the time of contact to clean up with rubbing alcohol to help avoid the
rash; all tools should be wiped down at the end of the day. Again,
depending of the size of the vines you're working with; if you just have a
few big ones, cutting them with hand tools and painting the stump with a
brush kill will kill the root so you don't have to dig it
up.<U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
