Anyone have any idea what this is? Again a high reserve of who knows what - and it's shown with a manual with a cover that doesn't quite match the machine.

Well, it isn't poison ivy but Virginia Creeper that's all over me. It responds to nothing. Dr. says it is a whole lot more intense than PI. And we do have it all over the yard... I've never had anything like this. DH has it too. We have never been into Round Up but I'm thinking we will give it a sporting chance. I just figured it was poison ivy since it is also all over the yard. There was even a vine of PI growing in the living room window. See my blog. If I could I would sew - too much misery. LOL

Thank you!
Singer changed the site. It was discussed on the Singer Yahoo group but I don't have the new link yet. :(
Here is the new one:

That same site all looks different now and I couldn't find the usual info I had been so used to locating. Thanks.

Please hire professionals to remove (round-up or whatever) your poisin vines. We deal with cheetgrass here on our farm and I know you have to catch it at certain times and re spray at specific times to get rid of the seedlings, etc. You do not ~~nor does your body~~ need another episode. The investment will be worth it, I am sure. God bless you my dear. :-( :-( :-(

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.
