This is what happens. . .

When you wander into the jungle to cut back some brush and don't pay attention. Yep, poison ivy, or something akin to that from down here.

A nice swath of irritated, blistered skin up and down my arm that burns and itches at the same time.

I've picked this up several times, and still cannot figure out what plant is exactly the cause of the irritation. I'm sure this won't be the last outbreak, unfortunately, as it takes about 30 to 45 minutes after contact before the irritation starts.
