RE: Poison Ivy

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Great story!  It makes me wonder if you are one of those people who are
naturally not sensitive to the stuff, or if goat guts worked some very cool
alchemy on the alkaloids.  Had you ever had a poison ivy reaction before the
milk treatment?  Had your neighbors cured other people the same way?
