Mystery!

by Mike K2

itching man ponders
with no evidence in sight
the vine shows no sign





I loved nature photography and enjoyed spending an entire summer camp out in the woods doing nature photograph. I went the American Indian route as far as clothing, but instead of a breach cloth, wore shorts. By 3:00pm, I always started turning lobster red and felt a hunting product was causing it. By 3:30 those tell tale poison ivy blisters would appear, but that wasn't a problem as I had special soap that removes poison ivy sap, and by dinner, was totally healed. Two things bothered me: It took me away from the nature photography, and I could never find the source ... Until the last day, when I was breaking down my river blind, the poison Ivy vine was four trees over, on the opposite side of the tree. The leaves were directly overhead of the blind and sapping. If I hadn't caught it so quickly, I would have scaring poison ivy itch over 80% of my body.
