Also, be sure to wash clothes and gloves worn to remove the poison ivy.
The juice from the plant can also infect you up to a year or more later.

I meant to say something about this before when someone posted about
poison
ivy. Two little footnotes to keep in mind when trying to remove it.

1) The toxin can stay active for over a year after the plant dies. Just
because the vine has died, don't think you can rip it out with your bare
hands.

2) Don't burn it! Even when dead. The toxin will be carried by the smoke
and
burn your eyes.

(I guess this was slightly off topic, unless of course you have poison
ivy
vines invading your gardening space...)
