MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE SOME POISON IVY IN OUR BACK YARD. MY HUSBAND IS DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO IT. I, ON THE OTHER HAND CAN TOUCH IT WITH MY HANDS AND NOT HAVE ANY ALLERGIC REACTION. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE, I HAD THE CHICKEN POX AS A CHILD, MY HUSBAND NEVER HAD THIS DISEASE. HE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO IT AS A CHILD AND AS AN ADULT BUT NO OUTBREAK. NOW, OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS HAVE THE SAME SITUATION. THE WIFE HAD THE POX AS A CHILD AND THE HUSBAND HAS NOT AND HE IS DEATHLY ALLERGIC AND SHE IS NOT. DOES ANYONE THINK THERE IS A CONNECTION?? |
