LOL, I agree! I grew up in the south and rarely wore shoes unless I had to (school, church ... the occasional visit to distant family.) I still hate wearing shoes; I go outside barefoot all the time and my husband is always telling me I should put shoes on. For many years I gardened without wearing gloves and to this day I have to force myself to put them on ... all of which is probably why I'm immune to a lot of stuff. Poison Ivy is different though, it still gets me if I'm not careful ... I sure wish I could become immune to that stuff!
