Protecting Yourself From Poison Ivy | Live Free or Die: How to Homestead

typically jewelweed and IV kind of grow
right next to each other and jewelweed
is awesome at helping with poison ivy
I’ll tell you how to determine whether
it’s jewelweed and where it kind of gets
its name hold it under water and it’ll
shimmer just like a little diamond it’s
really cool stuff that’s about enough
for me
for right now there’s just tons of juice
in here and I can make basically a
protective layer with this and I’m
constantly exposing my skin to ivy out
here everywhere
pick them standing in a lot of it right
now after I’m finished walking through
Ivy or doing what I need to do I can go
wash this whole thing off in a creek and
I don’t get any reaction now I’ve got a
barrier between me and the poison ivy
