Me, too. but, I am only allergic to a couple things (that I know of) those
being bananananas and cannabis. So far I am not sensitive to poison
ivy/oak/sumac. Nor is my brother.

OTOH, don't come visiting at my place when the trees are in bloom. I have a
mulberry tree (which I'd like to be rid of - either that or train the birds to
not bomb my car) in my back lot.

One can get accustomed to nearly anything. However, since I don't enjoy doing

I sorta wondered about that. Get out there too far and Darwin kicks in.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Appalachian Apple Pie
 Categories: Desserts, Fruits
      Yield: 2 servings

    1/2 c  Apple slices, dried
    1/2 c  Bread crumbs
    1/4 c  Raisins
      2 ts Sugar
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
    1/2 c  Water

  Your apple pie will be ready in fifteen minutes. While you
  wait, slide your boots off and enjoy the scent of cinnamon
  wafting through your campsite.

  My backpacking cookware consists of two small pots and
  stoves, so dessert heats up at the same time that supper
  cooks.

  Place apples, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon in a small pot
  and add water to cover, approximately ½ cup.

  Light stove and maintain low flame until apple slices are
  soft and warm.

  Stir in bread crumbs. The bread crumbs will absorb the sweet
  juices.

  Lift spoon to face level just below nose. Close eyes.
  Breathe in. Smells like mom and apple pie. Insert in mouth.
  Repeat.

  Optional Enhancement: Top with crunchy granola.

  Variation: Substitute dried mango slices for the apples,
  reduce bread crumbs to 1/4 cup, and keep everything else the
  same. I call this recipe Mango Raisin Pudding.
