Friggin milkweed

I've never heard of Milkweed. Is that as bad as Poison Oak/Ivy ?

Not as bad, but then again, I used to weed whack poison ivy and never have a reaction.

It's stalk has a milky sap. That sap is what got me. I'd heard to caused a rash and chemical burns, but until this point I'd never had a reaction to it, either.

Either it's really potent because of the damned near perfect weather we've had for growing (plenty of rain, plenty of sun) or my body chemistry is changing as I grow older.
