re: Best ways to get rid of poison ivy without having to get a shot.

Knock wood, have never had it and I've been all over the woods many, many times in my life. Hope I'm immune.

You aren't. I've never had it until last year. I would always play in the shite and never got an outbreak. One day I thought I was immune and was doing yard work in nothing but shorts like I always do. Wasn't cutting limbs and weed eating. I had forgotten what poison ivy even looked like and must have weed eaten some ivy and it got in my blood.

Once it's in your blood, you have it and the more you're exposed to it after that the more susceptible you are to it.
