We've talked about this before. There is supposed to be N.A blood in my family, but no one has been able to pinpoint it.
My Mom and my brother were both immune, as well.
My Grandma would have said it's just because the Graggs were just too mean to react to it.

You or hoss got any blood to spare? I get the ivy and it ain't purty. From the dog most likely.

Well crap, I was convinced by all the lambasting when I said this same thing basically a couple months ago, that I was just silly. Apparently not, or I am in good Kiwi company. I'll take either and both, please!! :)
Maybe your head wasn't tilted just right, or perhaps you weren't rolling your "r's", and it's possible you didn't have a ruddy great chocolate stain running down your front... and, and...

I got it so bad growing up that it usually covered over 60% of my body every time. My mother would send me to school with cut up bedsheets wrapped around my arms and legs. When I got home after school the oozing yellow puss had cemented the sheets to my body, and when she tore them off the pain nearly made me pass out.

Do you think if I get a transfusion of Native American blood, it would help?

I sprayed the poison ivy over the weekend, but will have to wait another 2 weeks until I attempt cleaning it up with the weed whacker. I’d brave whacking on a 45 degree incline, overlooking a pond filled with piranha, before getting anywhere near the stuff.

Tell ya what I'll do......If you do the weed whacking around my house, I'll make up a poultice for you, too.

Most of what I had to spare got spilled long before I was born.

I have actually gotten it ONCE. And that was from a person who had it. My brother had slept in my bed and had it around his ankles. I got a mild case of it around mine. I thought it was flea bites or something, but then recognized the ooze. But it only lasted a day or so and cleared up on its own. I do have to say though, that was enough to know that is MISERABLE.
