(Don't) Pick Your Poison




The Jefferson Exchange show

Summary: <p>The Jefferson Exchange: April 26, 2013, Hour 2:</p><p><b> <span class="headlinetext">(Don't) Pick Your Poison</span> </b></p><p>"Toxicodendron diversilobum" neither rolls off the tongue easily nor inspires much alarm.  But use its more common name, poison oak, and suddenly it gets attention.  The springtime brings new growth to the itch-causing plants, and sends lots of people into the woods to come into contact with them.  Sandra J. Baker has written two books, both on <a href="http://www.poisonoakandpoisonivy.com/poisonivypoison.html" target="_blank"><strong>poison oak and poison ivy,</strong></a> and she offers a wealth of information on identification and remedies. </p>
