Oh my gosh, this stuff is terrible. I'm so glad that I'm not losing my mind. I am very sensitive to this stuff, and it seems like if the wind blows I get it. It seems to act exactly like poison ivy as far as transfer of 'oils'. I can't use shovels or rakes or any yard utensils that have touched it without my husband washing them first. It doesn't bother him at all.

Huge welts and itchy bumps that sometimes last for months; and this is even when I KNOW what to look out for, and I consciously stay away from it !!!

Last week there was a party at my home, and it seems there were some kids playing around near the woods, and touched this stuff, and OUCH, now I'm infested again.

I wish I knew how to make it stop itching !!!!!

Good luck to everyone else.
