Don't know where the best place to post this.. Figured it would be here..

I have poison ivy all over my body.. Pretty severe. My right forearm and eye are swelling.. It's on both forearms, both ankles, chest, face, and other places..

I have tried Ivarest and benadryl. I have some aloe vera plant and 5.5 water as well. I've avoided hot water.. I heard toothpaste on it helps?

Does anyone have any suggestions for help?

Bleach. This helped me a LOT or I would not post it. Don't do this if you have open sores. Get in the shower with a bottle of bleach. Rub it over the rash areas (not anywhere near the eye, obviously). Wait for a few minutes. Rinse off.

You need a steriod shot. Go to an urgent care center. Best money you ever spent.

Mineral spirits works better than bleach for me and is a helluva lot faster at drying up the blisters.

I shite you not....put vodka in a spray bottle and spray it on the rash. It soothes the itching.

I would recommend a Doctor visit.

Taking a warm bath loaded with Epsom salt really helps. Then use Caladryl lotion. Do it a few times a day and it will work pretty quickly.

Good luck.
