Two people warned me last week about scratching and spreading the poison ivy/oak/sumac rash I got camping. Those two people are misguided and caused me undo grief. I want an apology.

"Contrary to popular belief, the rash from poison ivy cannot be transmitted from touching the oozing blisters. The rash is transmitted only through the poisonous plant oils themselves."
