Ah, this reminds of me of my childhood, in the woods, in Alabama, where
Poisons Ivy/Oak grow like grass. I remember showing off to my friends how I
could rub the leaves of the plants in between my fingers and on my forehead,
without ever getting even the slightest bump. People told me I had so much
on my fingers that they were afraid to get near me or they would contract it
from my skin. Ha... those were the days. Anyways, I've only seen the
effects of the plants on friends, and I must say I feel for you. It always
looks painful. I know this helps you in absolutely no way what-so-ever, but
I am thankful you reminded me of those days. And yes, and far as I know I
am still immune to both poisons. I think they make something called
Calamine Lotion for the rest of the venerable world. (Spelling may be
incorrect, as I have never needed any.)
Ok,, I'll stop now. Good luck with your ailment.
Matt
