Wood score I had about two weeks ago I posted about, well some of it had some poison ivy vines on it. I was careful and pulled most of it off but probably didn't get them all. My question is should I axe off what I see and can find still attached to the rounds or just let those rounds sit for a loong period of time and let it die/dry up on it's own.
My SOP with those vines is to avoid cutting them with a saw as much as possible. I don’t want the dust and oils from them getting airborne and covering everything. I pry them off as best I can, but as for the little hairy remnants that get left behind, I don’t worry about them. I haven’t had any issues yet when they do go into my stove a couple years later.
Thanks for info, I probably should have thought of that when cutting Would like to get it split to start drying but I know I'll loose track of being careful and probably end up with that crap on me somewhere somehow. The stuff is a PITA seems to get everywhere!!!
I am sure to get it all off before it hits the burner. When I was a kid a couple girls in the neighborhood had a run in with some poison ivy smoke at an outdoor get together. One had it IN her ears and nose, the other had some on back of her throat and in nose. If I hadn't lived through it I would likely argue that it's impossible. I don't really get poison anymore but when it comes to smoke, I mitigate out of fear.
Yep, can happen. They say it can happen if you mow it too, but I have mowed a bunch in my life and I keep my face inside my shirt and mow downwind.
