8. Sorry to hear that. I think I get more sensitive over time, if that's possible.

But any remainder here is isolated. I've been spraying it for years. Just getting older to carry those spray jugs. I've got slopes (away from the road) so carrying a 4 gallon backpack is out of the question

The dead vines seem to retain the oil.

One tree had very tall vines around it. I cut the stem and let it dry up, but avoid that area.

Pole pruner is a life saver.

Hope you didn't reach the blister stage. That's like a second degree burn.

Stay far away if you can.
