I will bring toilet paper.....absolutely no way I am using leaves!

Now I have to look for poison ivy pictures 

Don't use any leaves that look like this either, this is Gympie-Gympie, aka stinging tree. When touched, the tip of the silica hairs break off. This then turns the hair into a “self-injecting hypodermic needle. Initially the stinging is said like being attacked by wasps, then you get whitening and swelling at the site, and then if it’s really bad you get sweating. The pain excruciating and can last for several years.
