RE gloves: what's saved my skin (literally) are the rose bush type gloves - leather that extends up the forearms. I can wade into my rose bush trimming with confidence that not a thorn will get thru - would imagine the same would apply to poison ivy, though you'd have to be careful taking them off not to come in contact with the plant oil.
Hope the itch abates soon! Here's a tool tip for both saving $$ and exploring new books - the library extension app (https://www.libraryextension.com/), which when searching Kindle books, pops up what's available in your selected library(ies) - works for ebooks, audiobooks, and regular books. It's allowed me to explore new authors while saving my money to buy from known favorite authors. Cheers!

This is a great idea! Mine only come to my wrists so until I get a pair of these longer ones, I'll be tucking long-sleeve t-shirts into my gloves.

I so love borrowing ebooks through Libby!! These days I usually do that first before I buy something to help save money and shelf space.
Thank you for sharing these inspirations and tools!
It's my pleasure - thanks for reading!
Leaves of three, let it be.
I'm so grateful I had gloves on - I can't imagine what it would have been like to have it on my hands too.
I pulled out a privet bush last week and the poison ivy was everywhere. Gloves are good.
That's exactly what I was pulling out of some rhododendrons when I must have come in contact with it!
