Well, I was pulling some Virginia Creeper off that tree trunk one day & I grabbed this stuff b/c it was on there too & I pulled one line off & then went WHOA! Uh Oh --- leaves of 3...... hmmmmm... wonder if this is poison oak?
I have tromped the woods all my life & never gotten a case of poison oak or poison ivy & I'm 55 & I've never paid any attention to what I was touching. I figure I MUST have encountered it somewhere at some time. Anyway, I've never learned to recognize the stuff. But with age comes caution Hilarious! & now I'm afraid to touch it for fear of suddenly having developed a sensitivity to it.
And I thought if this is poison oak then I will put it in the db as it is not there presently.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
