Poison Sumac?

[Julie86]

Whatever it is causes me to have a reaction! My new yard, and my neighbors are over run with English Ivy and I am finding all sorts of things while I am clearing it out. These 2 plants are growing in between the 2 fences. The first picture is the one that gave me the reaction. The second one is in a U shape and they are every 5-10 feet or so along the fence and have tubular roots. Most are connected. Both need to go!!
PS this forum is great and you all are so helpful!!

Wash with a washrag. Actually I wash with two wash rags. I rarely even get a itchy spot since the wash rag trick was explained to me.

I'll have to try that! I'm not very sensitive. There is a good amount of poison ivy hiding out there too. It gets me but I don't react like I did to this, or maybe something was hiding around it. I'll keep a few clean rags outside with me and wipe my arms down every once in a while. Hopefully that will help!! Thank you!!

Soap and water and a rag in the shower is what I should have said. Good luck- I know it is hard to avoid.

Always wear gloves when you're dealing with the unknown in a garden. Euphorbia can send you to hospital! Be vary careful. Heavy duty clothes, and trousers tucked in socks, and a fork and a spade and big size sacs for weed disposal are what you need.
