Besides poison ivy, it could be poison sumac or wild parsnip. The other possibility is that you have an allergy to a specific plant that most other people aren't allergic to. The only way to know for sure would be to see a doctor.
If you launder your clothes on hot or warm with laundry detergent, that will get rid of the poison ivy oils without contaminating anything else. I would avoid walking in the plants with suede shoes until you're sure there's no poison ivy where you're walking. It would be harder to clean leather. (You'd have to consult a dry cleaner.) |
I'll look those up. I thought poison sumac doesn't occur in the east coast.
Might be a specific plant allergy. Not sure. I havent had the time to take photos but I'll be soon.
