Are you allergic to poison ivy?
 

I usually constantly have a rash during hunting season. I was wondering if the majority of people are allergic to it.

I heard you become allergic once you get it extremely bad and it gets into your bloodstream. Then if you even walk near it and breathe you can get a rash. Atleast thats what happened with my dad, but ive also heard if you have it really bad once, then you are proned to get it extremely easily in the future.

I am not positive, but I don't think I am. I was putting up stands twice now with it all over me, and I haven't gotten a rash. My wife howver has a real nice case of poison sumac going on right now. Pretty nasty stuff.

If it's poison, I get it...oak, ivy or sumac. I usually have to get shots and the doc puts me on steroid pills for 12 days. This last time I didn't need a shot, but I did get the pills and a steroid cream. Nasty stuff!

I really don't know. The stuff is everywhere, and I know Itouchitwith my clothes, but I can never remember getting a rash from it. I know I must touch it now and again, but I guess I've been lucky.

I've heard of an old Indian cure that if you eat a leaf, then you'll never get it again. Personally I think its bs, and I dont want to try it because I could see my self layedupin the hospital for a few weeks.
