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

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.

I have never had reactions. I was told some people are just not affected by it. Not sure if true.

I was also told as we age our immune system weakens so being unaffected may not be forever.
