I have a buck and a buckling. The separate place I have for the bucks is wooded 3-4 acres. I really want to pet these guys, keep them friendly but I can't keep from getting poison ivy even when not touching them. I have to move them from the woods to the front with the girls for the time being. The rub me or end up brushing against me and the next day I have the rash. Or the big one just must try to run through a gate when I try to go through it and I end up handling his breakaway collar.
I wash my hands after every single time but I must be contaminating gates and latches and feeding bins and of course clothing.
Anybody else have issues with their goats giving them poison ivy again and again?
Besides the bad rash I have chigger bites and fire ant bites so I am one itchy goat keeper. The chiggers are from cutting limbs for the girls and the ants were hanging out in my path one day.
