My husband had a bad case of poison oak not long ago. He was so convinced he was immune to the stuff. Then he gets it all over his body, I told him he should go see a doctor and also take antihistamines. He did the second part but never saw a doctor, so of course it spread all over.

The thing that bugged me about it though was that he was trying to quit smoking at the time, and using the patch. He was convinced that somehow the patch was spreading the poison oak throughout his system, so he stopped using it.

Of course now he is back to smoking like a chimney. And that particular effort went down the tubes.

He still has some of the patches, but I think he may have convinced himself that someone at the plant that made the patches might have had poison oak and thus spread it to him. Hah I doubt it.
