On Immunity: I went to SeaCamp in Biloxi Mississippi, with my sons
6th grade class. On a nature hike, the guide said that everyone is
immune to Poison Ivy when they're born, and the immunity reduces
with each exposure. I don't know how true this is, but she's
supposed to be an expert. I know I never got poison Ivy until I was
an adult, but it may be that I wasn't around it as a child. It
thrives in our current neighborhood and I get it every year. My
children have never gotten it.
