Interesting, I didn't have that experience. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house. She had a fig tree in her backyard that I climbed all the time and I have no memories of it making me itchy.

What's kind of funny about that tree is that my dad planted it when he was a kid for the specific purpose of having a climbing tree. Unfortunately it didn't grow big enough to climb until he was grown up and had a son (me), but I loved it!
