Thanks to all... the advice coming from all the angles above is great and please keep it going. And now I have something to add, myself. I watched this youtube video last night and it's already been saved in my bookmarks/favorites bar. So much is valuable on here despite the sometimes shoddy audio. The clothing protection portion is utterly priceless to me. And, btw, for 10 bucks I did buy 3 of those hazmat suits from amazon as well b/c it may be the easiest and most complete way to go. I'm grateful for all those who've added their own experience from above and I hope people continue to chime in b/c I bet everyone who's battled PI may have a trick and some other valuable info.
**I'd like to post the link for the video here, but the site prohibits me from doing it b/c I'm new. If you're interested, just go to youtube and do a search for "poison ivy documentary" (its title) and it should be the first to come up. It's 58.42 in length.
