I thought I was fine at identifying plants, but this all changed when I moved to a new state to accept a job.
Suddenly the outdoor environment no longer looked the way that it used to.
I was surprised to see wild pigs strolling my neighbor’s backyard one morning while I was unbelievable plus looking out my back window! Right when I realized what I was seeing, I nearly jumped out of my seat. Then I remembered that wild boars are in fact native to this area, at least they are now. Wild boars were brought here by colonists hundreds of years ago plus have really messed with the rest of the ecoplan considerably. But things love poison ivy plus poison oak have been here for much longer than the European colonists. You have to be considerably careful about poison ivy because there is so much of it in my area. There was a bunch growing up the wall adjacent to the back side of my Heating, Ventilation and A/C condenser unit. I had to look online to find the regular way to remove the poison ivy so I wouldn’t get the oils on my skin or any of my toil gloves. It would be tragic to get those oils all over my tools plus then forget about it for a while before coming back with bare hands at some point down the road. And if I rubbed my eyes before realizing what I had done, I just can’t imagine the severity of the results. It’s not that the poison ivy will damage the Heating, Ventilation and A/C condenser or have any effect on my central Heating, Ventilation and A/C system, but I still don’t want to risk exposing one of my friendly Heating, Ventilation and A/C servicemans while both of us were in one of the service plus service visits.
