catsittingstillNo, I haven't gotten it recently (yay.)
In the past few years Kip and I have had some Adventures with poison ivy and I'm very much in favor of people (especially me) not getting it and I know the canonical "leaflets three let it be" but goddamn if it doesn't look like EVERYTHING has three leaves sometimes. So I never know if I'm overreacting to everything green or blundering into obvious patches and I don't find out for four days so it's hard to learn. Well.
Some GENIUS has come up with this poison ivy eye-training quiz that you can take anytime you feel like it, with 50 pictures of plants comprising different shapes and shades of poison ivy mixed with harmless plants, so you too can hone your suspicion index without increasing your sensitivity.
