Several times, but relative to others I know, extremely mild. My daughter specifically.

Once she and friends were “camping” in our backyard and the spot my child (about 11 yrs old) chose was LOUSY with poison ivy. By the time I checked on them, she was just waking up to misery.

As soon as the local health center opened, we were on our way there. As we drove, she fussed and cried. Blisters in her nostrils, on her scalp.

Finally, she said, Mom, can I swear?

I said, go ahead. I’d swear too.

She made a series of unintelligible sounds, then a little scream. “I don!t know any words BAD ENOUGH.
