Heehee, I'm on of the 15% who isn't. I was always mad when my brother (who has a whole host of violent, crazy allergies) got out of school after rubbing up against some. Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #27 May 17, 2004 QuoteYou can spread it by scratching immediately after exposure (while the offending urushiol is still on your skin) and then touching or scratching elsewhere. yeah, that's actually how it probably happened. I got my poison ivy while hiking & trying to take a shortcut. But today I went through my little backyard and removed something like 20 little poison ivy plants. That shit grows everywhere! But now I'm paranoid about it so I'm actually looking for it. Before this, I hadn't had a poison ivy rash in many years.
