re: Best poison ivy remedy?

I got a shot the day after I got it last time and I still had it for roughly 5 weeks. Did oatmeal baths, gel made to dry out poison ivy, etc. I had it bad.

If its on your dick use benadryl cream should,relieve the itch but leave the swelling.

For about 8 hours relief, put the affected area under running warm water with both hot and cold fully open. Slowly close the cold water valve until you have hot water, as hot as you can stand, running on that area. Leave it there for a few seconds (bot don't burn yourself - which is why it's best to increase the temperature slowly). Afterwards, the area will feel a little numb and be very red but it won't itch for about 8 hours. When it starts itching again, repeat the process.

All over your body? Do this in the shower. It works.

Oh, and benadryl.

If it's on the jewels, use lots of Gold Bond powder. The menthol holds back the itch pretty well.

This. Works amazing.

I have 2 small patches on my arm right now. I'm using vinegar on the area with ace bandages to hold it on. Do this for an hour at least.

I'd say it is a 12 hour relief.

My wife said that about 4 days of repeating got rid of her last afliction.

You have to touch it to get the oily sap on you. Once you touch it you need to wash with a dishwashing soap (helps with oily sap) and a rag. The rag is very important.

Youtube video on Poison Ivy

Once I watched this video I never had a problem again.

That stuff never works for me.

Bleach and cutting off my arm worked wonders though.

I've heard you can wear long sleeves and then burn it. Make sure you breath deep, that's the key to building up an immunity. Good luck baw.

All else fails, go see your Doc
