It used to be the fig tree that tore my skin up. I learned after about three times of picking them without gloves not to do it anymore. It’s quite a sight mind you, me in 95º temperature out there decked out in a snow suit (okay so not really a snow suit, but it feels like one) hat, gloves, and boots just to pick figs to preserve. I can’t wait to enjoy that task again this year when the fig tree is ready.
We have been in our new house five months. Out of those five, I’ve somehow gotten myself into the poison vine three times. Honestly I don’t know what kind of vine it is because I’ve research so I know what to look for so I don’t go near what it is. But once I get into it, it lasts for about four weeks. Poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac. I wonder, is wisteria poison? It seems to be that vine that tears my skin up. Maybe I’m just allergic to it. Then there are the vines with prickly thorns attached to them, I swear those are from the pit of hell itself. It just goes to prove that everything pretty on the outside is not pretty on the inside.
I’ll be itching my way through the next four weeks or so, and maybe I’ll learn to wear long sleeves, long pants and gloves while doing yard work. Some lessons for me are hard. Joe gets the sneezing, watery eyes and congestion, I get the itch. We make a great couple!
Until next time,

Thanks a lot for the helpful article. It is also my belief that mesothelioma has an incredibly long latency period of time, which means that warning signs of the disease might not emerge until eventually 30 to 50 years after the original exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common variety and has an effect on the area within the lungs, could cause shortness of breath, torso pains, and a persistent cough, which may result in coughing up blood.
