Be sure you wear full body armor.. gloves, long sleeves, long pants with socks. You can pull it as long as you do not let the leaves touch your skin.





DO NOT BURN IT! The poison can be carried in the smoke and get in your nose, eyes, mouth and lungs.





Poison ivy/oak/sumac makes most folks itch. Calamine lotion helps - my family is highly allergic ('cept me) in that if they'd touched it - they'd be down for the count, covered in it.





Be sure not to touch the clothing you wore when pulling it, they should go right in the washer. Try not to scratch and don't touch your eyes.





Benedryl should help with the itch as well if you have some on hand.





Roundup does make a product specifically for "woody" plants, like poison ivy - look for it.
Reply:Barter with someone who's not allergic, For example, I pull up poison ivy for my neighbor, and he plows my driveway.
Reply:Leather gloves, pull it out, put it in a garbage bag, get help if you need it. If you try to kill it it will kill your flowers too.
Reply:Round-up if you dont want to mix the solution you can get a pre-mixed solution at your local garden center, just spray on the leaves of the plant you want to kill and be careful not to get any on other plants because it kills what it is applied to..

Reply:thay make a spray at your local garden mart
Reply:TAKE A SPRAY BOTTLE WITH CLOROX IN IT AND SPRAY THE PLANT.IT WILL NOT HURT THE OTHER PLANTS.
