I didn't even know what poison ivy was until about 3 years ago. Now I can't get through a season without at least one really bad bout. The doctor told me I get it systemically (sp) - I may only touch it with one part of my body, but my whole body breaks out and like Logan, it's a major job to get rid of it.

Now I watch really careful where I am, which way the wind is blowing and hide if necessary. We live on 3 acres in the country. We have poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac The dogs can only go places I know are safe so that I don't break out.
