No vaccine available that I've ever heard of, just treating the rash with lotion.

I, too, am violently allergic to it. I did take shots ( a series of three) early each spring before 'the season'. PITA, but it worked for me. Since I was a kid, I didn't pay much attention to the name, something like RheussTox, but I bet a veteran allergist could help you out. Good luck, and pass the calamine

Edited to add Thx, Mr Irwin. I'll look into the pills. Whe the cat goes out and brushes up against some in his travels, and later rubs on me, I get an outbreak that looks like I've been burned with a cigar.

Painful and itchy, but OT.
