Greg,

I actually walked into one early one morning going to one of my stands. I knew it was in the area but I thought I had cleared it.....Anywho, I got tangled up in it and kinda forced my way out. I could feel a couple of scratches on my arms legs and face but didn't think it was that bad.When I finally got up into my stand, I was sweating like crazy....or so I thought. It wasn't until the sun came up that Irealized my face was covered with blood as were my arms and legs, nasty bush indeed.

As far as Poison Ivy is concerned, I was never allergic to it until about 3 years ago, now I get it...oh well. I've got a buddy who is so allergic that even in the dead of winter he will get it bad just by carrying a cord of wood into his cabin that had Potion Ivy crowning on it at one time.
