Have you ever had the unfortunate pleasure of making the aquaintence of one of these evil, nasty lil plants? I steped on one this afternoon at about 1:30. . .my foot is still tingling. . .piece of shit plant!!! http://www.ngpp.org/lounge/images/smilies/crying1.gif

No matter what I do I can't get rid of them. It's like every season they come back bigger and in greater numbers. . .they are taking over my yard! :mad:

I've tried everything. . .right down to pulling them up by hand. :(
 
Do you live near a wooded area or have neighbors that let them grow a lot?

Not sure how to get rid of them... previous owner agent orange'ed my property and now only the olive trees grow.

Calamine is your friend.

I actually got them from my nextdoor neighbor:mad:. . .they just seem to spread EVERYWHERE!!!

I tried benedryl and calamine. . .it still stings:(
 
welp, now would be the perfect time to go get some then, right?

Bad storm. . .I'm going no where! But I will pick up some for next time. . .with as many as I have in my yard I'm sure it will come in handy in the future.
