ashley it sounds to me like you have sumac. i was told at the pharmacy that ivy spreads in large patches and sumac.... what i have.... is tiny bumps that look like spider bites. the problem is it can spread like ivy once its broken open if you don't dry out the oil. i used over the counter stuff and i'm still fighting it also. just tonight i called my pap and he said break it open and pput diluted bleach on it. 1 cup of bleach to a 1/2 cup of water,, dab with washcloth and put it on it. its gonna burn but so far it seems to be working. he also said if the bleach burns too much to use windex for the ammonia to dry it and kill it. good luck and e mail me if this helps [email protected]
