easy way to get rid of poison ivy

[txzrider]

go to your doctor... get a steroid shot and possibly a medrol dose pack. My reaction to poison ivy has gotten to the point that this is the only thing that works for me. By the way std listerine rubbed on it will make the symptoms go away for awhile.

I hear that Goats love to eat Poison Ivy.

I would get some Goats.

Goats eat most anything. A friends has two and told me the truth about goats and Poison Ivy. True, they will eat it, but they'll eat most everything and they'll dine on the other stuff first. So, it may or may not work to borrow (rent?) goats.

If you buy goats thinking they'll do the job you'll stand a better chance, meaning keep them in the area where the ivy is but here's the rub, the goats will be covered with ershoil<sp>, the oil from Poison Ivy. Touch the Ivy and you're screwed, touch the goat, you're screwed. Not sure where the win is here.
