Ragweed
It is estimated that ragweed is responsible for 75% of pollen allergies. One Quebecer in ten is affected: sneezing, nasal congestion and watery eyes are all side effects. If you come across it along the way, there's no need to use herbicides: simply pull up the plants. Unlike poison ivy, ragweed is safe to touch. Rather, it's the pollen that causes an allergic reaction.
Poison ivy
When skin comes into contact with sap, a painful allergic reaction called “contact dermatitis” can occur. Around nine out of ten people are sensitive to this sap. To get rid of it, we have to be VERY careful: we may think of burning the plant. Not a good idea. Breathing in the smoke emanating from combustion can have very serious consequences, such as inflammation of the lungs, which can lead to death. Instead, pull out the plants with waterproof gloves and wear clothes that protect your skin from its sap.
Beach story
Here's an apple story that turns into a beach story.
My charming neighbor, whom I didn't even know, stops me and says -You know, the apples that fall in your yard belong to you if you do the yard maintenance. Otherwise, they belong to the owner of the
apple tree. With a smile, I listened attentively to this woman who knows both the law and apples. It turns out that she too has a neighbor whose apple tree gives her lots of little gifts to pick in the autumn.
In short, blah,
blah, blah, blah!
This lady, Suzanne, whom I now know, who knows all about laws and apples, set herself the task of finding the answer to the question of the century in the Quebec Civil Code. Do aliens have the right to settle
on the beach? Our beach!
Answer (loud music, drum roll, announcement, announcement, announcement, it's long isn't it? I know. It's always like that. )
ART. 920. Any person can circulate on the rivers and the lakes, with the
proviso of being able to reach it legally, of not infringing on the rights of the riparian owners, of not taking foot on the banks
(a beach is a bank with soft slope) and of respecting the conditions of use of water.

(French only) Who can use the beach according to the Civil Code of Quebec (ART.920)?
