AKK, I assure that it's true. While I haven't gone skinny dipping in industrial-strength battery acid, or some kind of industrial base, I am very resistant to acids and bases.
Temperature extremes just take training. Cold is MUCH easier to resist the effects to; taking ice-cold showers every day of the year for eight years of your life does that. Boiling hot water (~200 Fahreinheit) is much more difficult to teach. I burned myself somewhat badly (second-degree) more than a few times getting my limbs to the point that they can take a good ten to twenty seconds worth of hot water. My torso and other areas aren't quite up to 200 degrees, and I suspect they never will. They can take around 150 degrees without ill effects, however.
Immunity to poison ivy and other toxic plant secretions isn't all that rare; I know many that are immune or highly resistant to one or more species of similar plants.
