Help!
I just had someone remove a ton of poison oak on my property. 98% of it was removed, but now instead of several very visible areas I now have dead leaves, cut stems and branches all over and I can't tell an old twig on the ground from a poison one.

Does anyone know how quick does the oil (urusiol?) decompose and degenerate when it's on the ground? In how many weeks, say, can I let my kids play in the affected area?

thanks!
