Does posion ivy etc get you down?

[Unclebean]

I remember getting poison when I was younger but for the last 10 years or so I don't seem to get it. The property we purchased a few years ago is loaded with the stuff! I'm still very cautious but very thankful I’ve been able to work on removing the vines from trees, etc. without any problems.

I've come to accept that every summer, all summer I will have poison ivy rashes all over my body. And I always get it on my face. One time I looked like some kind of monster because it was all over the one side if my face. I have scars on my legs from it too.

You got to be careful with animals, you can get the oils on you from their fur. I don't get it. I remember when I was young I wanted to get out of school so my cousin and I rolled in a patch of poison ivy. She got it, I didn't. My mom gets it real bad. She told me when she was young they were burning it in a field and she ended up getting poison ivy in her throat. She said it was so bad she was hallucinating and had to go to the hospital. Now when she gets it she still needs shots.

Poison ivy does not bother me- never has. If I am exposed, I might get a couple of lesions that heal up relatively readily. The Princess on the other hand is extremely reactive to the "leave of three."
