That's a funny but I'm sure painful story! I had poison ivy twice as a kid growing up in Jersey. We'd spend alot of time in the woods partying, fooling around, etc. Once I was with a girlfriend in high school and got a bad case of it on my back. The other time was when we were building a log cabin to party in. I got it mildly on my chest and badly on my lower legs from being an idiot and wearing shorts.

yes, it is not easy to fall victim to poison ivy. it is good that they now have good remedies for this. i have only read about how painful it is in a novel. until now, i do not have the slightest idea as to how these poison ivy and poison oak look like.
