I've pulled many 1000's of poison oak with my bare hands before I knew what they were and never had any symptoms from it. I must have some how developed an immunity to it. My grandma told us that you can develop immunity to poison ivy by eating a little bit of it when it first sprouts out of the snow and then a little more as it grows bigger. I suspect I may have developed my immunity to poison oak by pulling the baby plants in the spring, gradually being exposed to higher and higher amounts as the plants grew bigger.

surfsteve: Maybe, maybe not...

Myth 9 – You can develop immunity from exposure. False. With some 90% of humans allergic to urushiol, it’s only a matter of time before most of us will develop a reaction, and it turns out the more reactions you experience from exposure to urushiol, the more likely you are to react to with further exposure. But the reverse is also true: avoiding exposure (and outbreaks) reduces your susceptibility to a reaction. In other words, the myth has it backward: your best immunity comes from simply avoiding contact to begin with.
