About 27 years ago I was given a series of 4 shots spaced about a week apart by a doctor to make me immune to poison ivy.
I have not had more than a bump from poison ivy since then.
I did learn later that the shots had far more disadvantages than advantages.
I made out fine with the shots though, I think.
I am having some odd health issues now that I am about 50 and was wondering if there is any information available on what the side effects were years ago and if there appear to be any long term side effects developing now?
