Yolk Sac,

Injecting a small amount of an allergen into people and increasing the dose over time is exactly what allergy therapy does. I know I've done it with other allergens. Once a week to the doctor's office for a shot. I had to stop as sitting around for 2 hours at the doctor's office every week wasn't doing anything for my one man business.



Urushiol is one of the most potent substances on the planet:

* Only 1 nanogram (billionth of a gram) needed to cause rash
* Average is 100 nanograms for most people
* 1/4 ounce of urushiol is all that is needed to cause a rash in every person on earth
* 500 people could itch from the amount covering the head of a pin
* Specimens of urushiol several centuries old have found to cause dermatitis in sensitive people.
* 1 to 5 years is normal for urushiol oil to stay active on any surface including dead plants

Now back to our regularly scheduled program - again...

BTW I won't be getting a flu shot. Why? I predict there will be a shortage and it might as well go to someone that really needs it.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
