This sounds so dumb, but I was just young and I found this plant, and I just took a leaf, and you know when you're young you want to feel, see how certain things feel, and I just rubbed this leaf all over my face, and it was poison ivy, and it was terrible. I think I woke up the next morning and my entire face was red and itchy, and it was not fun. So uh, not that everyone out, everyone in the world is out, you know, running into the woods, rubbing leaves all over their face, but if you're ever tempted to, just make sure it's not poison ivy.

When I was younger there was, I think, like four times that I can remember where I was exposed to poison ivy. There were a lot of places. I lived in Virginia in North Carolina for most of my life, and that's just, there's a lot of greenery around there, a lot of poison ivy, and yeah, it was just, the reaction was different every time, which is something that's very interesting. Like one time I had just a little rash, another time my skin like bubbled up, and like there was like scarring. Luckily it went away mostly, but yeah, it's just very interesting how it's different for everyone and every time you get it, but yeah, it was not fun. I hated it, and I had to be like so careful not to itch and spread it.
