Ha, I can roll in the stuff, eat it, smoke it you name it, it is just a weed. I picked so much of the crap growing up I became immuned to it. I got it twice and that was it. I had a friend who was highly allergic and while clearing some ivy on his house got it from taking it down and then again burning it. His head looked like a grape and he was in the hospital for 5 days due to not being able to breath well. I am allergic to absolutely nothing. This and i don't get sick because my parents didn't run us to the doctor unless we had a visibly broken bone (I had 6) or bleeding you couldn't stop. Otherwise you would heal and be stronger for it.

I take and fold up a paper towel and pour some bleach on it and then hold it on the poison ivy for a few minutes and within 2 to 3 days it is drying up.Only do it one time for 2 days or it will try it up so bad it will leave scares.I do this when the poison ivy first starts.
I know I'm crazy,but you will do anything to get rid of poison ivy when you have it.

I know this sounds absolutely nuts, but shower with Tide liquid laundry detergent. Regular soap won't cut the oil from the leaves off your skin. Use the Tide and make sure you wash anything and everything you may have touched too. I got this from a pharmacist and it works. Using the Benadryl will help too.
