To develop resistance to poison ivy, one can gradually expose themselves to small amounts of the plant's oil, urushiol, to build up immunity over time. This process is called desensitization or immunotherapy. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before attempting this method.

Is there some medicine you can take to ward off poison ivy allergies?

Unfortunately, there are not currently any medications available to prevent poison ivy symptoms from occurring, although there are several studies in progress to develop such a medication. One of the things I have seen recommended (with varying results) is to take Vitamin C (1,000-4,000 mg hourly) before exposure to poison ivy. Before taking any new medication and/or supplement, consult with your doctor first.
