I was literally covered head to toe with a layer of shredded ivy and I didn't get a single bump. That was the day I learned that I was a lucky guy (in least in that one part of life). Of course after that every time there was poison ivy around my boss and coworker would pretend to do other things and I would have to cut the hedge or whatever myself. Nothing's free.
This is pretty much what happened to me and when I really learned to identify poison ivy. I never could really tell before, but I became an expert after that.
