Further thoughts: - i have seen benadryl-based antihystamines powerfully repurposed between internal and external uses with great success in emergencies.
- I have seen people crippled by allergies to things that are absolutely everywhere, and driven homeless, injured, and insane by this. - I have always been able to manage my allergies with careful and gentle management of exposure and willpower, to make them go away. Including poison ivy. I have not met many other people to say this. I also observe our medical culture to discourage trying it. I am not myself interested in protective chemicals -- I would rather have the freedom to pursue gentle exposure, when the situation is not dangerous. - I am not asking others to go outdoors, or expose themselves to unpleasant things.
