[pct-l] Poison Oak and Immunity

[mlissner at aidshike.org (Michael Lissner)]

Building up an immunity to poison oak by subjecting yourself to it in 
any way is like building an immunity to pollen by sniffing flowers.

The fact is, with things that make your body create histamines, the more 
times you are subjected to it, the more your body freaks out. So, can 
you become allergic to the stuff if you weren't formerly? Yes. The more 
you encounter it, the quicker your body will realize how terrible the 
stuff is.
