Re: Cleaning Poison Ivy Urushiol off Gear

I have been told by Doctors and have read many articles on the subject and the science seems to say that the reaction to poison ivy is not systemic(ever)and is only contracted through direct contact. I would 'NEVER'injest any part of the plant for this could result in a serious, if not life threatening, reaction in some people. I spent years suffering with a serious reaction that erupted every spring, and I would swear that I'd never touched the stuff,but who am I to contest science? I would be curious to know if anyone has ever injected the stuff looking for a cure? Poison Ivy Smoothie,anyone?
