Be careful nevertheless - that can change.
As a child, I had terrible poison ivy: big huge blisters
all over my arms and legs. I remember blisters covering my
entire hands. It was just horrible, and extremely painful.
The doctor always said he would have hospitalized me, except
that we lived in the country and the nearest hospital was
about 50 miles away.
This happened to me every year, usually in the autumn. I
was told I could get it even if I hadn't touched any poison
ivy: maybe just from petting our dog. Or if someone was
burning leaves and burned poison ivy.
As an adult, I've had a few itchy bumps on my wrists and
arms from poison ivy - that's all - a normal, average
reaction.
