re: Best ways to get rid of poison ivy without having to get a shot.

---

1) First use some sort of dispersant to remove any oil, but be careful to not spread it to unaffected skin (Dawn or anything else that will disperse oil)

2) Take oral Benadryl tablets (will also help you sleep through the night)

3) Spread either hydrocortisone cream or Benadryl cream on the affected areas.

This, once it is there you treat the symptoms and time do its thing


I have recently heard to try pouring apple cider vinegar on it, can't hurt
