What is Poison Ivy?. . .

None of us had ever seen Poison Ivy or really knew what exactly it did so luckily Jeremy is a scout leader so we whipped out his handy dandy hanbook and looked it up. While hiking we identified several poison ivy plants that at first we avoided, but after we discovered that not all people are allergic to/ have reactions to poison ivy our curiosity was spiked!


Am I allergic to Poison Ivy?. . .

Most normal people whould probably soon let that escape thir mind but not us. We wanted to find out what category we would fall in. . . so we all rubbed poison ivy leaves and berries on our right arm.
I'm not sure if the plant was to immature to have produced sap the would cause irritation or if we are all among the rare cases of not be affected by it, but none of us got itchy, rashy, red arms. I guess lucky us!

Crazy curiosity I guess! I had it once and It was miserable. I got it on the back of my calf and when I knelt down the poison spread to the back of my thigh with out even knowing. Most uncomfortable sleep of my life!

You are brave... and/or crazy:)
