That was the search phrase we were looking for after my husband pulled a “weed” in a bag and 2 weeks later…yes, 2 WEEKS later a delightful rash came about on his legs.  (This was from the oil dispersed when he pulled it despite having the bag over it and wearing shorts.  It may have occured after he said he was immune as well.)  The first thing to look at is what does it look like?  SummitMedical.org had the best picture of both.  You remember the phrase “leaves of three, leave it be?”  Well it doesn’t quite cover it all because sometimes the leaves look like they’re in three but you can’t quite tell or maybe they were once in three and one went rogue and grew further so its no longer clustered.  If you want to remember a phrase to go along with it, this one I just made up will help me remember…”leaves are jagged, you’ll itch yourself ragged.”  Stupid but I won’t forget it.  Maybe now you won’t either.  The thing is there is SO much information about it out there and some of it is so contradictory that you don’t know what to believe or what will actually work.   Read on to see what we did, what worked and what didn’t.
