I believe it.  For the right (or wrong) person.. it’s intense/no joke.   Nothing to joke about.  Like I said, I’ve got welts.  My brother had it not too long ago pretty much everywhere.  He was doing something military related out in the woods.  They burnt some [BLEEP] and he end up having issues breathing and swallowing. Sounds like he got lucky but he was in pain for a while.  And this is the guy that volunteered to go through “gas chamber” or whatever it was twice during basic.  So it wasn’t a “pansy” issue.  

My mower had a strike with poison ivy today. The left side gas tank hit it.  I don’t normally come into contact with that portion of the mower.  But that is on my mind.  It’s some
Bad stuff for the wrong people

The gas chamber is no joke man. Been there, done that. You can't imagine the amount of snot that can come out of your nose until you encounter CS gas up close and personal, not to mention the burning eyes and throat. Feeling like you can't breathe. 

You go in a small building, don your gas mask, they release the gas, one by one you pull off your gas mask and scream out your name, rank and last four of your social, then stand there and suffer until everyone has completed the task. Then you go out the door with your arms out to your sides (no rubbing your eyes douchebags!!) and hope to God you don't run into a tree you can't see because your eyes are tearing up so bad from the burn you can't see.
