Does anyone know how to successfully kill poison ivy and poison oak? They give me tons of hives!
Haven't been gardening much because I do not want to miss work if I swell up like the elephant man. Not kidding! A late friend of my mothers turned me onto A&D ointment.
Sorry if I haven't communicated with anyone but this has been going on for 9 years.

Boiling water if practical regarding size of infestation and distance from stove - and gracefulness/balance of the person who will carry it. Only needs to go on the roots.

I've actually had to hire somebody who isn't allergic to completely dig up the poison ivy around my place. What they did with it afterwards, I don't know. They carried it off with them. I haven't had any problems since. But please, no body make the mistake of thinking you can burn the stuff. The smoke will carry the "poison" & still cause you to break out. I can't tell you how many times my dad did this.
