I get itchy just looking at it. The leaves don't have to be new, or even there. The leafless branches and the roots can - and will - get you too. I know. I am an expert at "getting" poison oak.

Prednisone can be your pal.

That's truely a miracle drug.

Also miraculous at turning your bones to dust Great drug for short-term use though. It's gotten me over poison oak and ivy a few times when I was a little kid and had it all over my hands, face, arms, and legs.

That and many other problems with long term use. I have a friend with lupus and get to hear about those issues.
