My mother got posion ivy 4 times this year, and she was wondering if you can ever get immune to it or you would get it each and every time your near it?
Poison Ivy?
"Immune" is the wrong word. Your mom has an allergic reaction to the enzyme secreted by the poison ivy plant. Is it possible that, over time, she can become less sensitive to the enzyme, which would cause less reaction. When I was a child, I was very sensitive to the plant, but as I got older, the sensitivity decreased. I now have very little reaction to the plant.
Reply:i get it whenever i come in contact with it
Reply:NO !! If you have sensitivity to it you will have it all your life !!
Reply:No I don't think you get immune to it. A friend of mine is very allergic to it, they even have to give him cortisone shots. She will probably keep getting it any time she is contact with it.
