just my 2cents, I too have suffered with poison ivy starting from when I was young, and described the history to this in some fairly recent past posts since this sort of connects to the current foot dilemma.

Anyway, the 2 cents worth is, while this may be an iron-related problem, I do not think this necessarily means it is a typical (at least, not as typically perceived) deficiency problem that is easily remedied by taking more of this, some of those, etc. More likely this is probably an "iron problem" that can manifest a bit differently among different people. The reason why I say this is that, at least based on conventional wisdom, I have and have pretty much alwasy gotten (consumed) plenty of iron-rich foods. Most of you probably already have a sense of my general opinion on conventional wisdom - I'm increasingly coming to find it's regularly wrong, often woefully so, and in many cases it's been shaped for us to be this way.

My hunch is, whatever general class of "iron problem" there is that leads to things like hyper sensitivity to poison ivy, it probably has something to do with a body that is already getting plenty of iron from diet, but the body itself internally is not able to use it due to some other malfunction......what?, I dunno, but that's my theory, and for now, I'm sticking to it :) I would add to this that a factor in this may be that the SOURCES of iron in the diet, although plentiful, may not be the best kinds of sources. Also, sensitiviy to poison ivy is one of those things that many people consider "allergy". I also suspect that we people by and large have been really mislead as to what allergies really are and aren't...... again, due to tainted "conventional wisdom". If what we have been led to believe about "allergies" is true, why is it that people often report they mysteriously "lost" a long-time allergy after having flushed their liver...... ?

That's my 2 cents worth. In commemoration of how things used to be, I decided to give 2 cents worth based on what 2 cents was worth, roughly, 100 years ago...... a time when money was more real, as was food, and people too, and were less sheeplish, but the literal sheep, well, they were probably still scared back then too ;)
