Believe me, until I get some assurance that this *isn't* poison ivy, I'm giving it a wide berth.  I have no desire to spend the next three weeks scratching the skin off of my arm and taking antibiotics to stave off the inevitable infection, nor do I want to watch my daughter go through what she went through.  If I do have it removed, it'll be by a professional and it'll be thorough (dirt, fence and all).
