We had nettles growing up, but we could just rub dirt on the sting area and it would feel better. Thankfully I've never run into poision ivy. We also had Devils Club-and a story about a bald guy who let the leaves run over the top of his head on a hike and he was in so much pain. : (
We used our hiking sticks to clear a path in one section not wanting to touch that stuff at all.
Duchess-do the ticks where you live carry lyme disease? Supposedly ours don't out here, but still I don't ever want a tick, and after I have been out I shake out all of my clothes, leave my hiking gear outside, don't let it touch my bed LOL and I take a long hot soapy shower.
