Same here, I've been on hikes where several people, if not everybody else got it when we all walked in the same places, but I never got an iota. I was changing a flat one night literally crawling in it and laying in it getting the spare from under a SUV. I didn't even notice until a helper with a flash light pointed it out too late, but to even my surprise, still nothing.

I have a friend who the least little bit, and he blisters and scabs up bad--like hospital bad. Like concrete burns, etc., we all have different tolerances for it I guess.
