Can poison ivy be destroyed with this torch,if you wear a mask?

Yes, with or without a mask you can burn poison ivy out. Mask makes no difference. Bernzomatic is really helpful though. ;)

No, no, no, no, no! Never burn poison ivy; inhaling the fumes can be extremely dangerous!

The poison ivy will burn like any other plant, but the allergen, urushol?, the oil in the plant will be carried off in the smoke, and can give you a bad case of dermatitus. Its better to use brush killer spray to be safe.

YES, you might have to go over it or back to it in a day or two but yes I kill my neighbors for them and there back fence was full of it I did it on a Saturday and had to do some areas again on Monday just to be safe make sheer that cover or legs because the plant still can have the poison come out of it

I believe that if it can burn, it will be destroyed. However, if it is not absolutely dry and the temperature outside is not hot, it might be a semi- slow burn. Since I have not tried this, so I don't know about the mask.

Hi Lawrence Howard. I usually leave this cream mask on for a few minutes. It works amazing! Kristin Ringewald

absolutely not. it's very cheap material. pierced through the mask easily @ 350 ft/sec. You'll regret going out to war in this.

I think it would be better to simply mulch the weeds. The Dragon is best used to eradicate poison ivy and sweetbriar and in ridding weeds around rocks and the like. You don't get an immediate "flame" like you would if you simply set some brush alight with a match--first heat comes out, and the flames only appear if you have something flammable, like dry leaves, around. Even then you can burn them if you take the precaution to have water nearby to take care of any possible runaway flames.

I've never tried this and it would be difficult to do as water will get into the mask at some point. I suppose that you could do it if you were careful.

I only used once on my ceiling to prevent leakage when it rains and it worked. I am very cautious about usage since it is toxic and it should be used with protective mask and gloves. Make sure you protect your health when using. READ directions very carefully. The dangers are NOT advertized on TV. God bless

Yes sir, but wear protection as that much exposure could be bad for you. Thats a LOT of copper oxides, and I feel it would be almost certianly poisonous, even w/ a power polishing rig (like the power drill adapters for mag wheels etc.)

Yes, but be careful using the iron too close to your face, it will leave permanent burn scars.

honestly don't know if it will kill poison ivy- definitely a strong weed killer otherwise.... and the mixtures on the container is for acres - I've used a capful per gallon and keeps my landscape clean of weeds especially the proliferate dandelions.

I don't think any mask will. A mustache will allow air to seep into the mask.

No! HCN is a poisonous gas and would require a self contained oxygen mask like those used by firefighters or fumigators.

Youd be better off with just nose plugs. I'm thinking that you'd probable loose a mask with that activity.

If you use it with a mask and goggles, yes. But it does kind of puff the diatomaceous earth out in a fine powdery mist and it will get in your eyes and lungs if you are not wearing protective gear.

I suppose that indirectly it is, but it mostly blocks the damaging rays and then needs to be washed off. I wear it because I'm allergic to some of the ingredients in most regular products.
