How I discovered I wasn't allergic to poison ivy: in Boy Scouts, on a campout, the firewood detail came back with some wood that had it growing on it, and the scoutmaster never noticed. Most of the troop wound up with it in their throats, and some even wound up in the hospital. I wasn't affected in the least.

Move your boat over to that side of the lawn John, then you won't get upset it's not in the water, because you won't see it often.
