Does anyone else have this problem???

I've been GF for six months now, and I'm now on my second
case of poison oak in the last two months.  I don't think I even
touched the stuff directly--maybe the oils were on something
else.  Also, I was in an area on my vacation where there were
LOTS of mosquitoes and I got bitten maybe 20 times before
I could ge out of there and put on some repellent.  I really
got some nasty welts from these bites and felt that these bites
had some effect on my whole body.

My point is that in going GF (and removing other food
allergens as well from my diet) that I'm more sensitive to
things that weren't such big problems in the past.  In fact,
I've been to the place where I got the poison oak at least
5 times in the last three years, and the poison oak was
definitely around then, too, and I never had a case of it.
Has anyone else found their sensitivity to these summertime
annoyances has gone up since they went GF?

Thanks,
Nancy
