The doc calls his nurse into the office and asks me one simple question: "Are you allergic to poison ivy?"

My simple answer was: "Hell yes!"

He replied, "Good!"  Then he instructs Nurse Jane to "grab the brown bottle", which she does & hands it to him.  Then the doc starts lathering my feet with this dark brown fluid.

"What's up, Doc?"

"I'm giving you a very mild case of poison ivy, young man."

"The hell you say!" says I.  "I get that crap really bad!!"

"Well, that's probably a good thing and, yes, I am," he states & proceeds to inform me that - in about 50% of the cases - persons who are allergic to poison ivy will LOSE THEIR WARTS when their body deals with the poison ivy.  "We don't exactly know WHY it works but it does often work," he concludes.

About one week later my warts - the plague of my life for 2-3 years - were completely gone.  They have been gone ever since.

Moral of the story: if you have a bad case of Planters Warts, consider going straight to "Plan B" on your own.  You might just save yourself a $200 doctor visit by simply walking barefoot through a local patch of poison ivy.

Jimbo, you really need to work a pollyhumper into that story somehow.  ;)
