Alexis tests if she's allergic to poison ivy by pulling it up WITH HER BARE HANDS.

Jesus! And? Is she okay? I say this as someone who became allergic to juniper, after years and years of gardening, then installing lighting around people's property. Pretty innocuous, juniper. Until I broke out from touching it.

Seriously, is she okay?

But you know, it's a thing where you gradually get sensitized over time, so you can have no reaction, no reaction, no reaction and then one day: reaction.

But OTOH, I guess the fact that you don't have a reaction right now means at least you don't need to sweat it if you brush against it. But I wouldn't keep up the bare-handed weed removal.

(But in fact, what do I know? You might stay completely immune)
