i'll pm you my addy.
Not everyone is allergic to it. I think it's one of those things that goes in 7 year phases. When I was a kid, I would always climb this one tree in our backyard using a vine that was wrapped around the tree. After years of doing this, my dad was out there one summer and cut the vine. I asked why, and he pointed to the leaves on it and showed me it was poison ivy. I never had a problem.

LMAO same thing with me, I used to play in it all the time as a child, freaked my grandparents out when they realized where I was playing, but I never had a reaction, still dont, but I dont think I fell down the hill quite the way you guys did...

since you mention it, i NEVER got it as a kid either. I think my first bout of it was in my late teens. I lived in the country, and it would only be miraculous that i'd never rolled in the stuff before.

I had never gotten poisen ivy till last summer. Then I got it really bad and had to be taken to the ER for it as i just wouldn't stop spreading as hard as i tried not to scratch it.. Had to get steroids and shit to stop it. Before that I used to be able to dive into a patch of it and come out fine, literally.

the stuff isnt supposed to spread once you've washed the oils off. You may have developed cellulitis from the infection though.



Let me tell you a little bit about cellulitis...
