I have twice in recent months been horribly infected with something in my plant bed. A horribly itchy rash has developed that lasted over two weeks with little relief. My doctor has prescribed creams and even given me a steroid shot, with little relief.

I've closely examined the online pictures of poison ivy and nothing I have seems to match it. I do have some sort of prickly vine winding through a hedge in my front yard, but it doesn't match the pictures of poison ivy.

Does anyone have any idea what it is or what could be causing my troubling rashes? I'm afraid to go back to work in my yard until I can identify it and eliminate it.

Thanks a million!

If you can send me a picture I will help you identify your vine. Send it to info@soilsalive.com.

Without a picture, ruling out Poison Ivy. my guess would be Nettle.
