Watch out, most people who exhibit no reaction to these plants will eventually become sensitized to it with repeated exposure.

[–]surfnaked 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I used to think I was too until I managed to stab myself in the thigh with a broken branch of poison oak. I got ulcers on my leg that were inches across. Very painful. Ever since I've been fairly sensitive to it, and very observant.

[–]PooGod 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Same here. As a show of arrogance, I once took a handful of poison ivy leaves, rubbed them between my hands to make a pulp, then rubbed that pulp all over my forearms. Not a single bump, itch, rash or anything of the sort. It's pretty sweet

[–]kpberry 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The reaction is an allergic one. Every time you expose yourself to the plant you risk your immune system deciding to make an antibody against the plant. I wouldn't show off too much.

[–]electric_saguaro 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Indeed. I used to be "immune" to poison ivy until I spent all day clearing out a ditch of it with my dad, basically wading around in it, carrying it and then burning it.

I was poison ivy'd as hell the next day. No more immunity for me.

I remember a camping trip I went on with my class where I was running through a giant patch of poison oak. My teacher flipped the fuck out when he saw me and had me run to the nearby creek to wash it off. It's the oils on the plants' leaves that cause the problem, so soap and water is the best first aid treatment. In my case, I just don't react.

Later on, working as a summer camp counselor, I had to keep reminding myself not to lead the campers through poison stuff. >.<

[–]goneskiing_42 0 points1 point ago

[–]ForgettableUsername 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's an allergic reaction that gets worse every time you are exposed. If you have only had limited exposure, you might not react at all at first....

[–]WasabiBomb 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm not affected by it, either. My wife has, in fact, gotten a rash from exposure to the oil left on my legs after I mowed.

Bear in mind, however, that while you're "immune" now, that may not always be the case. Repeated exposure can cause you to build up a sensitivity to it- which is why I limit my exposure as much as possible.

[–]whattothewhonow 0 points1 point ago

I have no response to poison oak and poison sumac, but will get a mild rash if I really get into some Ivy. Usually when I've been running the weedeater and get the tiny pulverized bits on me.

Same.

I used to love rubbing the stuff on people when I was at summer camp. Even more fun than that, though, is having a little sprig of poison ivy in your pocket and just before you shake someones hand, you rub the oil into your skin.

I used to be an evil little kid.

I used to always dread summertime in Ohio while growing up because I would catch it every single year even when I stay away from wooded areas completely. I always broke out in the same exact spot every time too, right in between my fingers so I had to always keep my fingers spread while explaining to everybody around me that it isn't the plague and it won't kill them. It usually lasts about 2 weeks before it starts clearing up.

One of the worst case that I caught was when I was about 13. I had it on my right hand, my right foot in between the toes and the tip of my dick. Try to imagine the head being 3 times bigger than the base, it felt like a pendulum swinging back and forth every time I walked somewhere.

[–]thehybridfrog 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wait, how the F did that get on your dick? Is it by contact or does it simply break out in random places?

You get the oil on your skin and then wherever the oil spreads you get the rash. I once accidentally touched poison ivy and then rubbed my eye. Not a fun week.

[–]akwey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

For me it's always broke out in the same two places (in between fingers and toes) every time except for that one year. Other people it seems more like poison ivy where every place the oil comes in contact will break out, like if you're walking through the woods and the bottom of your jeans comes in contact with it and later you touch your jeans with your hands, then take a piss, you'll break out all over your hands and dick.

It's nasty stuff.

Hopefully nobody but in many parts of the country, it's not uncommon to burn unwanted brush and other yard waste.

If you happen to have some poison sumac in that yard waste but didn't notice (or just didn't think about it), and stand downwind of the fire then you could get a rash in your lungs.

A childhood friend of mine came close to a construction site burn. It's where they clear the area of trees and foliage and burn it in 10 foot piles. Apparently he inhaled some poison ivy fumes and was put in the hospital for a really long time. It's been a while since I've heard the details, but from what I can recall; I believe he was in there for a month or longer and he swears he's never been in so much pain. I wish I could remember because his story is really frightening.

An unfortunately unaware/lazy gardener who can't dispose of poison ivy easily may burn it when trying to dispose of it. Regardless these plants can't be burned anywhere near a populated area and their roots leave the same chemical in the soil so.....yeah it's a bitch to get rid of.

When I was around 9 or 10 I wiped my ass with poison sumac.

I lived in rural Tennessee growing up and we were allowed to roam about. Well, me and an older friend decided to walk a few miles through the woods to go to the town pool because it was hot. It was a great time and on the way home we stopped in a gas station for a bite to eat. I believe I got some tater wedges and fried gizzards, along with a coke.

Well, on the way back through the woods I had to go. Grease just moved it right through me I suppose. Oh, and it was hot outside. Real fucking sticky hot with no breeze. Not sure why that's important, but I remember it vividly so I suppose it is. Anyhow, my buddy just tells me to shit in the woods. At first I thought I could make it and decided to try, because I had never shit in the wild and was concerned, but was soon swayed by the urgency of my bowels.

By the time I had to shit, it was already past the point of being prepared with finding proper leaves and a good spot. "I GOTTA GO!", was followed by squatting by a tree and trying to get my pants off before the ass-cano explosion. When I was done I wiped with leaves that I grabbed from down. ALWAYS GRAB LEAVES FROM UP! I had to wipe good, it was such a mess. I wiped so good.

I ended up having to go to the doctors and get a shot and some prescription cream. Because of the location, all in my asscrack and under my balls, it had to be applied a couple times a day for like a week. It's a very awkward thing to have your mother rub cold cream on your button at that age (or any I suppose).

For the first few days I just laid on my stomach. I couldn't sit or anything. Plus you can't wipe good because toilet paper feels like the roughest grit sandpaper.

I still remember it all pretty clearly. I suppose its things like this in our younger days that develop us as adults.

Oh, and my buddy for the longest time called me "Poison Kayak".

In terms of its potential to cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, poison sumac is far more virulent than its relatives poison ivy and poison oak. According to some botanists, poison sumac is the most toxic plant species in the United States (Frankel, 1991).

You should avoid poison oak and poison ivy too. All three plants share the same oil that causes the allergic reaction.

I had a horrible reaction to poison ivy when I was a kid. I still think about it. I went to the hospital and they gave me steroid pills. Cleared it right up.

From Wikipedia:

Poison sumac grows exclusively in very wet or flooded soils, usually in swamps and peat bogs, in the eastern United States and Canada

So that narrows it down a bit. Too bad that fucker looks like every other green growing thing..

WOW, I was told I was allergic to poison ivy and I have pretty bad experiences with it but nothing close to what you experienced.

I would have gone to the hospital for pain meds and prescription strength benadryl and shit.

That must have been a VERY uncomfartable week/month. I feel for you sir/madam.

It sucks when "grown ups" get it but it kills me to see kids with this type of stuff.

What happens if you pop one of those bubbles with a needle? I've always wanted to know this, I'm just curious, not trying to traumatize you with the thought of it. Would some liquid spill out or something? Would it deflate like a balloon? What would happen? please answer! thanks~

I think the only reasonable solution is to strip the entire earths biosphere of life, to kill off the plant responsible.

Its the only way to be sure.

I once made the mistake of rubbing poison sumac on my face, mouth, arms and hands. I was playing some silly game involving "finding the closest leaf" and doing stuff with it. Let's not elaborate. the point is that I got a heavy dose of mashed-up poison sumac leaf. All I got was a lumpy red rashy area on my forearm which was easy to ignore. it wasn't that bad. it's not always this bad for everyone.

No. It wasn't. Reddit post titles are often vague and misleading. There is a reason that NSFW and NSFL exist - So you don't have to cautiously read each title and try to assess your degree of certainty that what's behind the link might be something you don't want to see. Don't want to see NSFL stuff, don't click on NFSL-tagged stuff. Simplicity.

Woa, that's nothing like what I experienced. I got some on my arms a couple years back and they were inflamed and scabbed up, but I didn't get any sacs like that. That is disgusting and horrible.

I took my drivers test looking like that. Honestly, I could have run over a baby and a nun and he would have signed me off. The state trooper giving me the test couldn't get out of the car fast enough.

That's craziness. I feel sorry for you. I react to Poison Ivy and Oak but I've never even gotten a rash from poison sumac. That looks more painful than anything I've ever gotten.
