Why?!
I can now check off, get poison ivy, from my “things to do before I die list.”
DUDE! This sucks! I’ve never had it before, and if you thought I whined before, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
I thought I was a immune to it, and I was but apparently you can become allergic to it anytime. One site said, the more you’re exposed to it the more likely you are to become allergic to it. Doctors will say that it isn’t contagious, but I am not convinced. My husband got it from me. My aunt can get it from touching someone elses poison ivy, even the nurse at my daughters school isn’t convinced. Some people say they can get it from looking at a plant. I did think that was a little far fetched, but then someone told me that there can be a powdery substance on the plant and that if the wind was blowing, it could possibly get on you that way. Who knows?!
I have no idea how we’re going to get rid of it all. My first thought was to burn it all, but then I learned that you can actually get poison ivy in your lungs from breathing in the smoke. I want to figure out how to get rid of it forever, and if its even possible. My husband is super allergic to this plant, and my daughter always breaks out from it to.
This morning Aidan asked her dad, “Did God make poison ivy?”
“Yes.”
“WHY?!”
