Absolutely! The thing that makes you break out is the oil. It is even in the wood sticks. Use gloves & a long sleeved shirt & long pants to work with it. Take them off without touching your skin & throw them in the wash machine immediately. Put a little bleach in the load. Then take a shower. NEVER burn the stuff! You can get it on the inside by inhaling the smoke.

Yes, very much so. And do not burn them. Thats even worse because you and people all around will breath it. Use gloves to bag it and dispose of it with your gargage. Wash or get rid of the gloves and wash your clothes right after because you can get it that way too.

Most definately. The plant itself isnt harmful its the oil (urishiol) that it exudes it what makes you itch. Let it dry completely then get rid of it wearing gloves. Dont BURN IT.....

yes it is and it's bad to breathe the smoke if you burn it too.
