Jewel weed was also our plant of the month for September 1997!

Many people claim that freezing the juice with aloe and applying 
the ice cubes to the affected area will help A LOT.  Just don't
put them into your mixed drinks!

I've got lots of these in my back yard, all seeded from a single
plant that I had received in a pot and never got around to planting.
If anyone wants seeds this fall...  :)

I'll see if I can dig up a picture of poison ivy from my slides
and scan it tonight...
