They didn’t give you the shot in the ass? I get one annually (yes that’s spelled correctly) due to poison ivy.
I was fairly resistant to it growing up but I got covered up with it in college helping a buddy clear an old fence row. Since then I've been super sensitive to it.
If you know you've been exposed to it, wash your skin with dawn dish soap and cool water ASAP. That seems to minimize it for me. Then I take an antihistamine to reduce the itch.
That's me too, never had it as a kid playing in the woods every day but I do now. I believe it's fairly typical to get more sensitized to it as you experience more exposure.
My first time reacting to it was just last year when I was prepping an area to sow grass seed and was pulling brushy stuff out by the roots. I was wearing gloves but a lot of it was touching and wrapping up my forearm. It was February and nothing had leaves so I didn't know what of it was poison ivy. It was likely mostly virginia creeper but I must have gotten at least a couple of poison ivy vines in there. 3 days later I realized what was happening and threw away the gloves ...or at least what I thought were the gloves. It was the wrong pair, so I used the same ones the next weekend and got the oil on me in a few more spots. I ended up wearing long sleeve shirts for about a month so I wouldn't gross people out.
This year I've gotten it twice just barely brushing against a leaf.
Nothing like @red02tj though... You have my sympathies man, that sounds like a nightmare.

One surprising thing about poison ivy is that the face is by far the worst place to have it. Having had it everywhere (I mean on every single body part at this point), I'd take any over the face.
I would agree that water and dawn dish soap immediately after exposure does seem to cut down on the likelihood of getting it.

I got poison oak all the time as a kid, but gradually built up "somewhat" resistance to it. Poison Oak is a fascinating plant. Most of the time, its either a low growing ground cover or a small vine. But I've seen it grow as shrubs and one time even as a TREE that was about 7 or 8 feet tall!
I hate people, I really hate 20-30 year olds.
I'm at the tire shop, and one after another young rude asshole comes in. They are all on their phones talking to both people at the same time.
Here is an idea tell the person on the phone you will call back.
This one young asshole talks on the phone the whole time he was here. He sat next to me of course.

I don't know how they do it. When my wife tries to talk to me while I'm on the phone with someone else my auditory center just shuts down and I capture nothing at all from either person.
They don't - they're just too self-absorbed to realize it.
I’ve also observed that they frequently get on the phone - and stay on the phone - with nothing really to say. There seems to be no point to the call; other than to be on the phone. It’s very odd.
I hate it when they talk on speaker in public areas, I can't stand it when the person I am talking with has me on speaker. I then usually go out of my way to be loud and curse more.
Why not step outside and finish the call? Oh, wait, you need to hear their opinion 
So the idiot only had a half a quart of oil in his car. No wonder his car was making noise. Maybe he should check his oil once and awhile.
On the face near your eyes really sucks. You can't go crazy spraying medicine.
I've never had it down below but I'm sure that really sucks.
The place I remember the most is in between all of my fingers. That drove me crazy because the bumps would constantly rub slightly making them itch all the time. You couldn't close your fist without smashing them.
I don't have any personal feelings towards runners or bikers but I can't stand to see them on the road I live on. They are crazy to even be on that road. The lanes are normal width but not as wide as some main roads and if they need to get off the road for an emergency, most of the time they are jumping/riding into a ditch.
All that to say, I ended up smacking mirrors with another truck this morning because I was too focused on a runner that I didn't realize we were going to hit. I'm pretty sure that neither of us were over the line but he had tow mirrors and we were both close to the center. My mirror popped out and we talked for a little while. I told him it was up to him what he wanted to do and we ended up swapping contact information. Both trucks had scuffs but I think most of it will come off. I was able to pop my mirror back in and I was able to move it around but I'm not sure if the heating still works.
