I have posted about the poison ivy tree in my back yard, growing over the fence from my neighbor's yard. They are going to remove it, but both the female neighbor and I have had outbreaks from it, and tonight on NBC, there was a news segement saying this is the "worst year in history for poison ivy," and that it is due to global warming and greenhouse gases! Also, that it is now becoming a more virulent strain and will affect people previously immune to it, which was the case, until now, for both me and my female neighbor.
We'll get rid of this somehow, but I'm going to be much more careful from now on, and also follow Freewill's suggestion to get "ivy blocker" for me and my nice neighbors.
