On our walk threw the woods today, we ended up face to face with a wild pig. This is the first time one has ever been seen on our property! A couple of ferrel hogs can sure root up and destroy a large garden in a matter of minutes. It is time to build a live trap for my new snorting neighbors!
Suuue-eeeeeee!
Just the thought of getting a painful itchy poison ivy rash will keep quite a few people from getting out and enjoying the outdoors. Even those who do not know if they are allergic to poison ivy are war
y of roaming into areas where this plant is abundant. This is tragic. We should never miss out on any outdoor fun because we fear a plant. Especially when we can neutralize the effects of poison ivy naturally. Usually, a person’s resistance to the plant will diminish with each exposure. This is why some individuals, who for years have never been affected by poison ivy, acquire a blistering rash. At any rate, the best way to make sure that you do not get a case of poison ivy is to immunize yourself. And the easiest way to immunize you is to ingest poison ivy.
The first step in immunizing yourself is to gather
a young budding poison ivy leaf in the spring with a pair of tweezers, and eat it. Then, as the leaves grow, you will consume one leaf per day until you are “stuffing down” a mature leaf. And, I mean stuffing. The less chewing you do, the better. Big leaves should be cut down to pieces that you can swallow whole. After you have “finished off’ a mature leaf, the immunization process, which can take three to four weeks, is completed. Anyway,this is what I have done for the past five years or so. I can roll around in poison ivy just like my new wild pig neighbor...and not even itch.

Hmmm . . . It's a great idea but I'm not sure I can handle that:-)
