It's odd how different folks are allergic to different things. I grew
up in a WWII housing project with lots of other kids. AFIK, I
was the only one not allergic to poison ivy and poison oak of
which we had plenty. During the summer months, it seemed
like there was always somebody wearing calamine lotion. I
was just prone to infection from every cold, flu or whatever bug
that came along.
