I am always on the lookout now. I got it 4 years ago I think cleaning weeds in our yard. I had never come across it before. Luckily it was just on my arms and a couple of spots on my legs. Then dh who said he was immune to it got it the next year. We are both very wary now.
I think it was about 10 year ago when a family member had a reaction to poison ivy. Actually had to get put on some sort of steriod medication for a few months, for it to completely go away. That's the thing -- it affect people differently -- and for some people, it's way more of an extended problem, than for others.
