I always end up in the stuff and never get a rash...I think I may be immuned to it...Just a thought, deer are known to eat it, usually as a last resort
Deer love that crap! I love it too, when it changes colors in the Fall.

i will second that
when i was a kid i had to get shots every time take some sertiods

Heck now the only time i get it and it bothers me is when it is where the sun does not shine.

I got it a few weeks back had a few spots on my leg arms and one of those bad spot i learnt to deal with it along time ago.

Heck i got it once when at a camp fire where the wood had it growning on it doctor said i got it from it burning all over my face.

ya if you itch it to much or it gets bad scars can and will happen i got a couple from when i was a kid.

Had my first case a couple years ago. Doesn't hardly grow back home in the U.P., but here in IL, its everywhere. Xanfel has worked real well for me. You can get it at drug stores. It is a wash that you scrub vigorously until the itching stops. It takes the oils away. My wife got poison sumac really bad two years ago, has a couple scars actually.

Yeah give someone else some air time!

I had it a few years back and went to the DR. whom gave me steriods.
Then she put an inkmark on my shoulder as an indicator of the infection/blood poisen and said if you see your purple arm go past this inkmark head straight to the emergency room.
