hey guys as we march mess out the worse and we just ran into some prison are you so i'm going to show you the poison ivy and then we got some other plans for sugars well alright guys so go boy scouts and don't be a dope don't touch the hairy rope well I guess we should stress that out to my kids because he just walked right up to here and grabbed it asking me what it was so let's go help milk

alright guys so the plant that I'm in front of right now is jewelweed and the nickname for this is touch me nods and we're going to get the camera closer we're going to show you kind of why I guess that got the term but from what i read it got them it got the word jewelweed because it's very pretty wack see on the top and water beads up on it and in the morning light hits it looks like jewels on the leaves but this is pretty much mother nature's answer to arusha oil from poison ivy so what we're going to do is we're going to get a close-up on this and then we're going to pull some of this and rub it on Connors arm because he exposed himself poison ivy and he gets it just the way the same way I do it gets it really really bad so let's get some close-ups on this and then we'll put it on him alright guys so this is jewel weed and if you look right here there's one of the seed pods and the reason why it's called touch me nods is because of that if you touch it hit blast part
