In many cases, you can become resistant or de-sensitized to
environmental irritants with repeated exposure.  Poison Ivy is just
the opposite.  Repeated exposure makes you more susceptible to it.  I
read this somewhere I considered reliable, although I can't cite a
source offhand.  It happened this way to my wife, who never used to
get it despite lots of gardening activities in infested areas.  She
gets it badly now.
