- zikduruqe 2y agoThe more repeated exposures you get, your body cannot fight it off anymore. Then you suddenly "become allergic" to poison ivy. There are two types of people; those that are allergic to poison ivy, and those that will become allergic eventually.
- EvanAnderson 2y agoI never got a rash until my late 30s (even after known exposure). Now I get the rash readily. I wish I'd avoided it more when I was younger.
- plasticchris 2y agoI am almost forty now, never try to avoid it, still no problems. I even had a side gig going in high school removing it. But it is still only any anecdote.
- gr8r 2y agolike the gardeners these days, did you hype the poison oak only to ask for a big $ amount to remove a small growth haha?
- plasticchris 2y agoNo, people know how it looks here. Usually it was full walls of the stuff.
