An Ivy Kind of Love
3 for 3. Over the past three years I have started each summer by getting poison ivy. One more year and I get a free toaster. The worst part is I did not personally come in contact with it this year. I somehow got it through secondary contact.
And I don’t even know for certain where.

I dated someone in college who was so allergic, he got poison ivy from clothes he had worn the summer before that had old spores on them (overall kinda things). Perhaps you have some shoes or jackets with poison ivy from last year?
Also, *gratutious plug for NZ* - there is no poison ivy here!

also, if someone is burning a lot of brush vegetation and some of it is Poison Ivy, you can get it from breathing in the smoke. Happened to Sam’s mother when her dad was clearing their back yard. And getting it that way makes the effects much worse.

There has recently been a discussion on the Daily Drool about basset hounds not having a problem with poison ivy and bringing it in on their coats. Luckily it’s another thing we don’t have in Ireland …
