I'll try to look it up later. I think I remember reading that there's an ointment that you put on before exposure that prevents the reaction. I don't tend to get it, hence I'm always relegated to pulling it out of the fence lines.
It is interesting, there's seven kids in my family. Three of us took strongly after my father (Slavic and Iberian mix), the other four took much more after my mother (British). Those four, the Brits if you will, are terribly allergic to the stuff. Us three that are Slav and Iberian don't get it at all. We're olive skinned/dark hair and eyes. They're fair skinned blond and red heads. We also seem to have more oily skin, maybe that's the reason.
