I've never been allergic to any of them or gotten any rashes growing up. Two years ago at 36, I was removing some poison ivy from my yard and for the first time ever I got a little rash from it. Yesterday I had the same thing happen, removed some from the yard and got a little half dollar sized rash. Probably an old wives tale, but I remember reading somewhere that the more you are exposed to it you will eventually have a reaction


36 as well. Growing up doing yard work I used to rub up against it all the time and never had a reaction. Did yard work this weekend and now my forearms look like they have herpes.

I know you aren't supposed to scratch but it feels so damn good when you do.

No medical expert but we each have a tolerance threshold and once that’s been eclipsed you won’t ever be able to work near it. I’ve had to get steroid injections multiple times
