Wow, that's a whole lot cheaper than the Ortho Tough Brush and Poison Ivy Killer that I've been using, and safer if it gets on me, too--thanks so much!

This morning I couldn't find my little paintbrush that I use to paint it on so I avoid good plants, so I got brave and donned knee-high rubber boots, long rubber gloves, long sleeves and long pants and pulled a big bag full of the stuff. It was choking out the milkweed plants that the monarchs love.
But I didn't get it all, 'cause I should've brought more bags. Also, at 9 am it was already too warm, so I had to wipe sweat off my face with my sleeve--NOT a good idea. I went back in the house, put my clothes (and gloves) to wash immediately, then washed ME.

Anyone have a good haz-mat suit they use for poison ivy?
