Does anyone know if poison ivy vines that are sprayed with herbicide still
have sap that is poisonous?  Does the intensity of the urushiol diminish
with time?  I've got a spot in my mom's old garden, that I'm attempting to
renovate, that has some small poison ivy  "bushes".  They will have to be
dug out.  I was in there pulling today with plastic bags on my hands, but
I've reached an impasse.  I threw my shoes and gloves right in the washing
machine when I decided to quit.

While I was working some ground nesting wasps or hornets stung me on the
forehead.  My eye and head still hurt. They had built a paper nest under
some stone on a low wall. What should I do to get rid of them?  I need to be
able to remove weeds overgrowing that area, or I'd just let them be.
