10% of people are immune to it. As a kid playing in the woods, all the other kids would get poison oak/poison ivy, I never did. A few months ago I took a small piece (got tons of it by where I live) and did a test on my forearm, just to see, nothing happened.
Soooo, KTMRack take a handfull and rub it on your forearm to see if you are immune to it......
No No No!! I am not immune to it! I have it on my wrists and neck! Now my son does not have any, he must be one of the 10%.

You have to make sure you don't touch your skin with your gloved hands that may have had contact with the poison plants. The plants secrete oils that can give you the itch via ANYTHING that touches them. So, when you crash during a ride, wrestle with your bike, then scratch your neck, you're gonna need an ocean of Calamine lotion. You probably got it from your gloves when you fastened your helmet strap and took on/off your gloves. (Neck and wrist areas) Soap and water is the only thing you can use to get the oils off bikes and equipment. Since it's an oil, it can hang onto things for a long time and you can get it weeks later from touching a tainted object.
