Poison Ivy

[rockhound]

Man, I was weedeating around my stoage building the other day, and must have encountered poison ivy, I didn't see it, or would have avoided it. It must have been hidden in the weeds. Next mornign I knew it,it was all over my feet. I couldn't get rid of it and went to the doctor for a steroid shot. It sure seems that poison is worse this year than in previous years. Be careful out there, because sometimes it may not be seen hidden amongst other weeds or vines. rockhound

I wonder why some are immune to poison ivy? Myself, I encounter it all the time in my work (telecom repair), I work alot in the brush, ditches, etc. I brush it away with my bare hands and arms, and not become infected. Heck, I could probably roll around nekkid in the stuff and not catch it. Wassup wit dat?
