A long time ago, where I worked in SW Oregon, the Forest Service would issue little vials of poison oak extract that you could mix with water and drink. I took a few with beer, but I don’t know whether they did any good because I have never been very sensitive to poison oak. I’m not immune, but it just doesn’t do much to me.
You’re gonna need an ocean,
of calomine lotion.
Bushmen in the Kalahari innoculate themselves with scorpions against scorpion stings. It does work.

I’m the same way. I have eczema and in general dry skin and spend a lot of time outdoors. I can’t recall ever having poison ivy reactions.
Since it’s oil based, just wash any areas with DAWN dishwashing liquid, using a terry cloth hand towel (it needs to have a texture to work). Repeat this 3x.
No more reaction.
As someone who has had a severe reaction my whole life, finding this out was a God Send!
You did it again. Great post.

I wonder if you shoot yourself starting with .22...
I only read the headline, but I am sure it is “ONE WEIRD TRICK THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW, BUT THEY CAN’T STOP YOU.”
If I suggested that my wife make herself some nice fire ant smoothies, I think she’d slap me.
I am sure you can get this stuff in homeopathic dosages.
Shoot yourself with 22s tobuild up immunity to 45.
Can he count to three?
Vax shots like DTP inoculate you similarly - only diff it’s direct into blood stream, not ingested. DTP is not a shot with dead versions of bacteria, but the corresponding toxins.
Yes, Dread Pirate Roberts has immunity to Iocane powder.

Umm, I think this is how allergy specialists have been desensitizing people for many decades. “We mock what we don’t understand,” might be appropriate for this thread.
