Re: Cleaning Poison Ivy Urushiol off Gear

Thanks, Blackbeard. I'll definitely be monitoring any future reactions very carefully.

I have to politely say though that the reporter you know is nuts! I don't consider myself a poison ivy expert, but after reading my fair share of info on it all the medical experts agree that this is a dangerous myth. You can't make yourself immune to poison ivy this way because repeated exposure only makes you react more, which seems highly unfair. Don’t try this at home.

Perhaps your reporter is one of the lucky rare but truly immune people. Or maybe he's just setting himself up for a huge allergic reaction. Yikes!
