    bleach works--and liquid shoe polish works good.

    yup, you should go spend a day in the ocean. that is the best thing you could do for it..worked landscaping at the coast and whenever I got the ivy, straight to the ocean and it would be gone in no time

    The ocean near where I am is too trashy to get in, I'd be afraid I'd get something worse than poison ivy from it. It looks pretty from a distance but if you get in there's a bunch of trash floating around.

    The poison ivy's starting to clear up a little, I think.

    That's what the doc prescribed to me one time. Cold water salt bath. Soak for 15 minutes a day.

    To keep t from itching - to keep anything from itching - put it under the shower and keep turning up the hot water. It will itch like shit for a minute or so, but as long as you don't scratch it it won't itch for 8 hours or so.

    I get it now - have some on my ankle as I type but I wasn't susceptible when I was a kid - but I remember my dad burning brush in the back yard and he got infected with it from the smoke - he had it EVERYWHERE - even on the inside of his nose and eyelids. He was a miserable grouch for weeks.

    Silver I bought something called Rhuli Gel - stopped the itching and made it dry up. But mine was a small outbreak not as bad as yours.
