I've got it bad. Had a celestone shot. Steroid creams. Salt baths. Aveeno baths. Calamine. Etc. I've tried it all. I'm dying over here.

Put one of your stove burners on high.
Put your finger on it for 30 seconds
Won't even remember you have poison ivy

Cut your arm/leg off.

Have you tried bath salts?

Sucks man, for some reason I'm Immune to it. I can rub it all over me and nothing happens. Used to when money on the playground in middle school

I tried to do a good deed for a relative cleaning up debris and now I'm paying the price for it.

It sucks, once you've got it, you've got it. Only thing that truly speeds it up is steroids from the doc.
Make sure you have got all the oil off at least.
Only thing I find that eases the pain for a bit is putting under water and slowly turning hot till I can't take it anymore. It helps dull the nerves, but probably not good for your skin.

Be careful, I was to when I was younger but found out the hard way a couple of months ago that something had changed, shite was miserable. I had oak.

Zanfels- all the way

I've always been immune as well but I'm sitting here with a case of it as we speak. Might be poison oak but I'm pretty sure it's not. I've always been able to pick it and roll in it and shite. May be the time of year. The heat. Who knows but I itch like a mofo atm.

The oral steroid packs are the only thing that works for me.
Posted on 9/6/12 at 3:43 am to Etyger
rubbing alcohol on it every few hours works for me.
Posted on 9/6/12 at 7:20 am to Eon Blue
I just got the steriod shot yesterday for it. I'm highly allergic to it as well. At the first sign of it go straight to doc and get the shot and the pills they give you. This is the only thing that works for me to get rid of it completely. How long have you had it?
Posted on 9/6/12 at 7:21 am to Cadello
Cadello, you tried those or just heard they work from someone?
