So kind of like poison ivy then? I used to think I wasn’t allergic to it and used to pull it out by hand until one day OOPS YOU GET REACTIONS NOW.

I was just curious if you had seen or learned of any example cases. Didn’t mean it had to be you or that I doubted it. Just a lot of people say it is bad (and I believe them) but I am curious about how it manifests.

I got sensitized to the soap used to clean aircraft. Washing an aircraft a day for a year or two then one day I'm mixing soap and my arms turn red and it feels like I'm on fire. Couldn't even be in the hangar when an aircraft wash was happening because it felt like my mucous membranes were dissolving. The docs gave me a note that said I had become "industrially sensitized" and that it was a not-allergic reaction, so "just take a benadryl and get to washing" wasn't a valid response.

It went away after a decade. I learned my lesson about chemicals that can sensitize, though, and follow all PPE requirements, especially at the house.
