Yes indeed! My legs are covered! Little buggers they're sneaking in disguised as something else. I spoke with a neighbor today who has it all over her face. If you're not getting eaten by ants, you're falling off in bits and pieces from the PI - to the Jewel Weed people!

I am in my second bout this year of the rash. Forearms, mostly. I wore gloves, but no long-sleeves. I thought, "well, I'll just carefully pull these few short seedlings", but of course, each was attached to an underground vine that came trailing out after it, swinging around me. Ugh. I hate it.

I don't have a poison ivy problem,but the jewelweeds are taking over my yard! They look nice and are really lush and green from all the rain so I'll just let them grow til they die back from the heat.

Now that you mention it..I found PI growing in my heckrotti honeysuckle. The first of it for me this year. I am suprised I don't have more because I live near a creek with trees and some fields. Now I have to figure how to remove it.

You're right, Bakemom...ants, cicadas (for some) PI - oh, the "joys" of out door fun.
