Hi Merrill: When removing pokeweeds be certain to use gloves that could be discarded afterwards, even a piece of newspaper could do. But, do not remove it with bare hands and NEVER touch any plants afterwards if so. As a rule of thumb, plants with milky sap are better treated with caution (Asclepiadaceae, Apocynaceae, Euphorbiaceae, etc.) Best Alberto _________________________________________________________________ Consigue aquí las mejores y mas recientes ofertas de trabajo en América Latina y USA: http://latam.msn.com/empleos/
