Noxious Weed
Unfortunately, my woman and I have a pretty good sized dose of Toxicodendron Rernix or Rhus vernix ...aka: Poison Sumac.
At least it ain't on my Johnson.
Next time, I think I will opt for a flamethrower rather than a weed eater. I'm serious, Sumac is some bad juju.
Talk about Itch.

If you burn it, stay WELL downwind of the fire, else you'll end up in the ER with a trach tube in your neck. Saw it happen to a couple of tenderfoots back in the day when I was a camp counselor. Scary, scary stuff.
Personally, I recommend RoundUp and hazmat suits, including rebreathers.
Yep - Leslie is right - if you burn be sure you stay OUT of the smoke because it's just as bad as getting it on your skin - except it's inside too and it can kill you!
Better to poison the hell out of it and then clean up while fully covered with heavy clothing. ACK - that stuff is vicious.
I always wondered what that stuff looked like.... Wonder if I have any. It doesn't look particularly healthy, so whatever you did to it, it must be working!
