When I was a kid I would get it really bad every summer. Practically whole body covered in calamine lotion at times to heal. Then there was a period (10 or so years) that I was not exposed to it so I never got it.
Now for the past 8 or so years im in and around it year round but somehow I became immune to it. I dont even try to avoid it anymore. In fact if its in my way I just remove it with my bare hands like I would any other weed thats in my way.
I tested it a few years back when one of the guys at work ran into a thick patch of it so i went over and grabbed a bunch of the leaves and smashed the little berries on the adult plants in my hands. Never got anything. Guess your body can build up a defense for it over time.
