(or however you spell that)

I posted somewhere here a while ago, wondering about what to do about a reaction to the hops vine that keeps giving me an itchy rash on my forearms.

I've tried some of the suggestions I received to my post and can now report back that Tea Tree Oil seems to have done the job. Thanks to whoever mentioned that.

Meanwhile, I'm taking the vine out. Today, I simply pulled up and broke off one little runner and ended up with the rash. I don't even recall brushing against the plant. I must have rubbed my arms after touching the plant. I'm otherwise not at unusually sensitive to plants, chemicals or other irritants. Just this one.

WAY too nasty to have in my garden, even if it's a nice vine.
