Needing some help boys. Went ahead and scouted some ridges for when ginseng season opens up in August and got my arse eat up with Ivy and Oak.

Anybody got any home/family remedies?

Appreciate it as always

Degree clinical strength deodorant works for me. Has to be the white liquid kind though. Not the clear or speed stick

Anybody know how long their method takes from once the application is applied to the Ivy/Oak drying out and no longer being able to spread?

I've dealt with it my entire life and just rode it out until it dried up. This times a little different with having an 8 week old and it being all over my hands.

Dawn dish soap - it's the oils that are the cause of the reaction.

Seriously, you want something that's going to dry it.

Once you clean your skin and clothes with soap and water it is no longer contagious , even the seeping blisters are not contagious . Steroids are your best bet, injection, oral and or topical

I have used a cheap arse can of brake parts cleaner before on my arm and it seemed to wipe that shite out quick!
I wouldn't recommend you spray on your nuts though!!!

That's great to hear. I've always heard conflicting information as to when it's no longer able to spread. Just trying to make sure my boy doesn't get it.

Scratch the shite out of the blisters with a dry wash cloth then pour chlorox bleach directly on it. Burns like a mutha for about a minute but completely rids you of poison ivy.

Take cold baths with a couple caps of bleach, dries out the rashes. Aveeno oatmeal baths work to. No hot water it makes the rashes spread.
