ISeeDeadBTUs said:I bought my first pair (Stihl, of course) last year. About the end of the season, I got Urushinol on them. First time in my life. People say you cant get it in the winter. You can. Trying to decide if I should chance the itchies with wearing the old ones this year, or get new ones. :long:
My experience, and I've had plenty, is that you can get poison ivy any time of year from any part of the plant, not just leaves. I got a bad case all over one arm one time while digging out a gopher tunnel to place a trap. This was in the middle of my front yard. The nearest PI was on an old oak tree 20 feet away. I made contact with roots in the ground. It was a nasty case of PI.
