Message: <blockquote data-quote="pluckem" data-source="post: 41069" data-attributes="member: 843">Thanks for the reply.  I am all too familiar with the nastiness of the plant. Have had a few bad run ins. In Iowa, it never failed every tree I wanted to put a stand in had a vine going up it. Always wore rubber boots and had a number of rubber gloves in the pack. It was the thing I would miss the least about hunting down there. I just have never seen this much PI in ND before. And have never seen it out in the open prairie / crp. It covers acres of land out there.  Maybe I have been lucky up until this point??I am actually surprised I haven't gotten a rash yet. I walked all over this stuff for 20 minutes before noticing. When I got home I threw the clothes in the wash and took a shower with some special PI soap.  I haven't addressed the boots yet. What does a guy do to a good pair of kenetreks with PI oil all over them?I was really going to put more time into September this year, even though I hate the heat and bugs...  This might put it over the top and make me wait till end of October.- - - Updated - - -Can't say for sure, have had a couple real bad cases on my legs and in-between toes. Last time was 5 years ago and I was getting new rashes/blisters for about a week throughout my body.  Problem is I don't know how bad I walked through the patch.  I had shorts and no shoes or socks on. Didn't know I walked through some until the next day when the rash started forming. Having said all that I haven't had an issue when I have been scouting/hunting and actively looking out for it and wearing the appropriate clothing.  But, If I want to hunt this area there will be no walking around or avoiding it, it is everywhere.</blockquote>
