poison English ivy?!?

This is going to sound strange but has anyone ever had a reaction to english ivy before? I was pulling some around my patio the other day and the next morning I woke up with what appears to be poison ivy all over my arm legs and face. Any place that wasn't covered. This isn't wild ivy, I bought it two years ago at Lowes and planted it around my patio to retain dirt and I trim it back a few times a year. I did nothing else in the yard that day. I've sat in poison ivy before and never had a reaction to it. Is it possible to be ok with the poison stuff and be allergic to the English variety? LOL That's strange.
