Caution!

>I have been turning a lot of really wet (green) cherry and poplar which was slinging sap all over me. I was wearing a full facemask, but my uncovered arms broke out in a rash with swelling which looked like posion ivy. I usually wear a windbreaker to cover my arms, but it was so hot I neglected to don it this time. Believe me I will in the future. This is a helpful note to those that may have allergy problems, be careful because this stuff is rough.

>Glenn- here in KY cherry trees are magnets for poison ivy vines, and you don't always see the vines as dangerous!
