Did you perhaps intend to post this to Seriously Horrifying? I’d be scurrying down the center of the street, holding my breath for fear of inhaling the plant oils. Yikes.

Pro-tip, switch to left-handed whacking when there’s poison Ivy. It then flings the noxious juice away from you instead of at your legs. Long-pants also help. And, if you know for sure you screwed up and got some on you, immediately go inside, take a shower, and wash it off with soap.
