well today its definitly showing signs of improvement, the scabs are starting to come off and its not bothering me as much anymore. when ever i get the itch, I spray the ivy-dry on the spots and after a few minutes of intesne burning, it settles down and I can go about my day. The worst ofit is a 4"x6" area on the right side of my stomach, man that one hurts!

Glad you're feeling better. That's a miserable thing to go through.

Silver reflective box.
Available at Rite Aid or CVS usually. About $40 for a 1 oz. tube.

Gee. $40 for an oz. used to buy... but I digress.

Seriously though, this is the only stuff that works for us, but boy does it work better than anything.

Oak,Ivy,Sumac..All in the Pistachio family

The oil on the leaves can still cause the reaction Three Years After the plant is DEAD.

Exposure at another location on the body may cause the original site to Re-react.

Last summer "Found" some hiding in an Azalea(I had leather gloves on!)...
hands are still sensitive and recovering.'Brushed up against some the next
day (still didn't know what was wrong) on my left ankle...Hands went wild.

Dermatologist prescribed a synthetic steroid which helped ...


BIL was mowing lawn 2 years ago with mulching mower (without a bag) and
ran through a "Patch"...'Fine,Fine dust coated him and ran down with his sweat all the way to his toes.
'Thought he was going to die.They put him in a tub of some steroid gel twice a day for a week.

He discovered the bleach trick...50% with H2O...It draws out the toxins.

I got a bad case of poison ivy by digging out a stump in my yard. There were huge poison ivy roots running all through the ground and I was pulling them out as I went with no gloves on. These roots were two or three inches thick in some cases. I got it pretty bad and had never been sensitive to it before.

Yes, it burns a bit. But worth it, for me.

This is the same method a friend of mine uses and it works wonders!
