Cleaning poison ivy sap off a rope
|
You have an extreme example here: visible sap and oil? Pressed into the rope? |
|
Burn it |

Great excuse to buy a new rope! Seriously though, I react so badly to poison ivy that I would probably give it away to someone who wants to try and clean it and buy a new one. |

This guy does a pretty good job of explaining why it's hard to get off skin etc. |
|
Update, in case anyone is interested: In case anyone missed it, I am very allergic to poison ivy, so no reaction from me = good thing. All my partners have been made aware of the poison ivy incident, and not a single one of them told me that they would refuse to belay me with this rope. |

Nice to hear it all worked out. |
