Oh yeah, it makes you itch like crazy, kinda like picking peaches. You need to wear a long-sleeve shirt.
Okra is so itchy that even the deer won't eat it, at least the deer near me. I have heard other people say their plants got eaten, but ours never have. We have a lot of deer. The okra garden is the only one we don't fence in. There are always deer tracks through it, but no deer damage.
