    Love your videos!! Especially this one! I’ve been doing research and good to know about the poison ivy! I had not heard that until today. I’ve asked you before about the tornadoes; I’ve also spoken to a few others that live/have lived there and they said it doesn’t happen in Raleigh too often. They do occur but not like other parts of the state. I guess you can never tell with Mother Nature! I plan visiting soon and can’t wait to see all the beauty you have talked about in NC!

      Poison ivy is no joke! Some people are lucky to be totally immune to it. Unfortunately I am very sensitive to poison ivy, I would have a bad outbreak of it at least once a year for several years. One natural remedy to poison ivy is jewel weed! You can make a brew of jewel weed, freeze it into ice cubes, and apply it to where it's bothering you.

      We have snakes. If you want to avoid them it's best to live in an area that isn't near forest or water. They can be everywhere, but pretty uncommon closer to the downtowns.

LOL I'm not sure where you grew up, but I think that depends on what city you live in, and prob. happens in the very rural small towns. Definitely not the bigger cities in N.C.
