We had record rainfall this year and I have more poison ivy than ever before! I dug up about 20 plants yesterday, but I live in the Texas hillcountry and we don't really have dirt, its mostly rock and oak tree roots in the ground, so I couldn't really get all the poison ivy roots out of that. Will they grow back or will the damage just kill the plants?
(I didn't use a spray because I have a dog that eats poison ivy and I don't want her to get sick.)
If I took out poison ivy plants but didn't get all of the roots out of the ground, will they grow back?
Sorry, but "Yes"... they will grow back unless the root is removed...
Reply:Another pet friendly idea is to pour boiling water on the roots...it kills almost anything.
Reply:odd dog you have there. i dont believe you killed them , when they do come back poor a bunch of table salt on them . no poison and no more poison ivy!
Reply:Oh yes they will.
Reply:The salt is a good idea. Another thing you could do in the future is spray Roundup on an area of the plant the dog cannot get to. Like if the ivy has grown up a tree. The Roundup travels to the root system and kills the entire plant. I dont know for sure.... but I dont think the dog would be hurt that way.

Is it Poison Ivy?
Ok, so yesterday i was in the woods with my friend and there was alot of poison ivy around. We were trying to be careful not to touch it. But last night, my hand starting itching (on my palm) and there was something that looked like a bugbite in the middle, so i just left it alone. but then, a few other little bumps started appearing around it. My hand is really itchy now. Does anyone know if its poison ivy? i woudn't know because i have never had it. Also, do you know any itch creams that work really good?
Is it Poison Ivy?
It most likely is, what you should do in the future, is take rubbing alcohol to prevent to oils from spreading.. please know that once the oils has been washed off (you showering) it isnt contagious. to help with the itch use Caladryl CLEAR
please know, if you dont shower or use alcohol and scratch it, it will spread...
only sleep with a sheet
Reply:Yes it sounds like Poison ivy, I take benadryl and I put hydrocordazone cream on it. Oh yeah if you went to bed after being outside without a shower your sheets need to washed. The oils from the poison ivy will get on your sheets and make it spread when you sleep.

Ivy League?
All you can do is apply.
Reply:good chance, the SAT is low for Harvard and Yale though
Reply:You definetly have a legitimate chance. I'm a student at an ivy (Brown), and everyone here has a lot of those same kinds of statistics.
Really, it's what you do outside of that that is the make or break for the decision... what will you offer as far as diversity is concerned?
When you write your essays, be original, don't look up a format on the internet. Your essays are a heavy part of your application.
Reply:thats good , wish u the best. Stay out away from the bad guys. this will help u to be focused
Reply:wow where do u live, in wake county every body has a gpa of 4.5 and higer in nc wake county
Reply:depends on what ivy league. you seem to have a good chance at cornell, columbia, upenn, or anything along those lines. but maybe not harvard or princeton. your SAT score seems to be a little on the low side, but it's certainly not horrible. see if you can retake it and maybe do better? and your extracurriculars seem remarkable, as well as your test scores. i say fill out an application, and write a great essay. good luck!
please answer my question? thanks!

Ivy league competition?
how hard is to get into an ivy league like harvard or yale or columbia etc?
Ivy league competition?
I would say it's pretty easy. As long as you have a 2400 SAT, 4.0 GPA, valedictorian , captain of multiple sports teams, 1500 hour of community service, and are either an Olympian, Nobel prize winner, or have written a best selling novel you stand a good chance of admission at either Harvard or Yale. Other than that it's a total crap shoot.

Ivy League Universities based on Mathematics?
What are some Ivy League Universities/Colleges that focus more towards math(and the math SAT score)?
Example: Caltech, MIT, etc?
Ivy League Universities based on Mathematics?
Among the Ivies, Princeton has a great reputation for mathematics and has produced dozens of famous men and women in this field. But just about any of the Ivies will have a decent math department...except maybe Harvard. Yale '88
Reply:All of them. They all have Math program and Science programs.
Reply:MIT and Caltech are not Ivy League schools though...
You might want to look up Princeton.
Reply:MIT is the upper echelon for math majors.
Reply:I would have to say pretty much ALL of them. Math to colleges is like a determination of one's I.Q.
