Agree. Poison Ivy is everywhere in LA. Although I have had all three, Poison Sumac is the worst. They all make you miserable. I have always taken Benadryl. I have had it so many times over the years, I can block it out now and not scratch it. Taking a bath with oatmeal is supposed to help dry the ooze out. Whatever you do, DO NOT burn it! It will frick you up inside and out!

My FIL slept on my couch the night of Gustav. He's not allergic to poison ivy. He was in the woods before he came over, so it was on his clothes. I got poison ivy all on the back of my knees and my forearms from the couch from him.

frick poison ivy.

I used to spend all day in the woods back in the day. As long as i showered when i got back in the evening really good, scrubbing everywhere really good, i woudlnt' get it for the most part. I might have real small flair ups, but they were nothing really.
