Re: Damn Poison Ivy. Gettting stuck in thick brush.
it was a good thing you didn't have to relieve yourself in the patch before
you started walking. that would have been most unpleasant.

Poison Ivy/Oak/Summac all make a poor choice of toilet paper.
It's also why using dry leaves to start a campfire is not smart.
Poison Ivy keeps it's oil and burning it, well, itchy lungs are not
good.

Re: Damn Poison Ivy. Gettting stuck in thick brush.
Don't count on it.............You are not born with allergies - you acquire
them. I was able to do as you are until I was 35. I was cutting some fire
wood that year & got a good case (soon found out that I had to pee while
cutting - wife was rather disgusted). Everyone is different - but once you
reach your personal titer - you got it. After that my response is worse
each time I am exposed.

Yea. I don't push it. If the stuff gets in a scratch it will bother me though.

Re: Damn Poison Ivy. Gettting stuck in thick brush.
This isn't quite true. People do lose allergies or "grow out" of them. I
for example haven't had a reaction to poison ivy since my early twenties,
although I have had plenty of exposures, and people I have been with have
come down with the distinctive rash. However, "Don't count on it." is
pretty good advice.
