One tough vine

Tweet

Well, the Ivy is back in full force and like a brave moron I was weeding around a tree and actually cut it with no glove on...You can only guess I now have poison Ivy on my hands. And it is spreading. But I did catch it in time to use the wonderful Benadryl lotion. But my question is this. I have asked several people how they killed off poison ivy and I have gotten several different responses, ranging from using straight bleach on the plant to kerosene. And I have used the bleach but was hesitant about the kerosene. This stuff is hard to kill off and if I was not so highly allergic, I know what you are thinking "Why did you cut with no gloves?", I would let the stuff grow wild. SO how do you get rid of the IVY in your yard?
