miriam - if that virginia creeper is anything like poision ivy in my yard - round-up doesn't kill it. takes something stronger. i'm sure you know that if you're sensitive to it that burning it anywhere near you is a no-no.

Miriam are you encountering all of this ivy and creeper at the new old house?

Since Virginia creeper is one of the plants mistaken for poison ivy, many people wonder if it is "poisonous" in the sense that poison ivy is poisonous. The sap flowing through Virginia creeper vines does contain oxalate crystals, which can be an irritant for a small percentage of people. If you're unsure as to whether you're one of those people, don't touch Virginia creeper, since the result of contact could be a nasty skin rash. Nor should you eat Virginia creeper berries.
Miriam, Hope you recover quickly!
