I seem to be immune to poison ivy... so immune that I don't even know what poison ivy really looks like. Last year I was apparently standing in patch with shorts and sandals. It didn't bother me one bit. Nettles are another matter. Luckily a little bit of mud cures that for me. On Tue, Oct

I am also totally immune. My daughter, however, has been horribly allergic to it since she was 8 years old (now 23). She always has to take prednisone to get rid of it once it starts. For her, it always causes a systemic reaction. Everyone in our family is immune except for her and my

A related product is Tecnu http://www.teclabsinc.com/products/poison-oak-ivy/tecnu, also commonly available at pharmacies. These products wash away the oily residue that causes the rash . They work best when used as soon as possible after exposure, but can help even the next day or

I am a bit more sensitive to the vine than I was in my youth. I'm sure this is the result of repeated exposure from lots of field work in the eastern woodlands and blissfully disregarding contact back in those days. Roger G. Moore -Original Message- From: George Veni gv...@nckri.org

I have had it many times. I have now from TCR. The best stuff to use is mineral spirits. The main ingredient in tecnu. Any alcohol based liquid will work. Rub it on immediately. Rinse with water after about ten minutes. There will still be a rash but it will stop it from spreading. Rub down

This is true, by my experience. I wasn't at all allergic - could rub it on my skin to no effect until I was in my mid-30's. Was out ridge walking, and stuck my face down in a patch of it to look into a low lead under a ledge, and later noticed just the faintest of itches, but no real rash.
