I've been clearing some land and this is the second time I've gotten it.

Yeah yeah, should have worn gloves & long-sleeves etc. but aside from calamine, anyone have any tricks to reduce the amount of time i look like a human pizza?

Go to doc and get steroid shot an Rx.

I will say one of the best feeling is a hot shower "scratching" your poison ivy for you. It feels amazing.

what sucks are the 5 'claw marks wound pattern' on the back of my arm where i clearly was scratching the oil across it.

why do i feel like the harder i scrub up with soap, the more i'm spreading it?

This stuff works wonders.. look up the reviews.

It's expensive, but when you have poison ivy you want to get rid of it fast.

Pretty sure you're not supposed to wash in hot water with it but I could be wrong

If there aren't any oils being freed while scratching, it won't spread.
