Like most things, the people who have it (ivy vs oak) say theirs is the worst but there is no real difference. But the plants look different. I have sensitive skin, but like my dad do not seem to be bothered by poison oak, where as my brother only has to get near it it seems. |

Neither of us got it, lucky, we were in there in shorts and tshirts, no shoes for probably twenty minutes... Later my dad and I spent a couple weeks pulling it out of trees at a local museum and burning it. We were fine but we couldn't bring any of our clothes home to mom.... To this day, I just consider myself allergic anyway... Just in case and I don't touch the stuff anyway. |
