I am very allergic. When I get it now I wipe everything I may have touched with Clorox wipes. Door knobs, light switches, my steering wheel, door handles. Throw the clothes I was wearing when I got it in the trash. If my shoes are old consider just throwing them out, too.
If that oil gets on something it can keep getting back on your hands. I also scrub underneath my fingernails with some kind of brush. |

Is this steroid shot worthy? I've never had one. Those yellow blisters are about half an inch sticking out. I have it like this in other spots as well.

I use this with good success.
Before I go into anyplace where it might be. http://bluestarofnj.com/catalog/imag...%20(Small).JPG After I have been in a place it might have been. http://www.tcr-online.com/catalog/Iv..._Towelette.jpg They provide it out at work so I always have some handy. |
I'm at work now. I feel safe from poison ivy and most anything else working around 98% Nitric Acid.

Damn, why doesn't my work have those towelettes? They have Technu available so they probably think that's good enough

Just left the Doc. He popped 3 of my ping pong ball sized blisters. Then prescribed steroid pills and steroid cream. We'll see what happens.

As a kid I was horribly allergic to it. Once we were at Pomme De Terre lake and the lake was somewhat flooded. A bunch of us kids were swimming in an area that had previously been above water and was full of poison ivy. I was covered from head to toe with that crap. Just an awful miserable experience.
Then for a long time I was immune to it. But I started becoming allergic again about 3 years ago. **** you poison ivy! |
Where do you run into the stuff? I feel like I was always out in the woods growing up and I don't recall ever having it..
|
I have been fighting it for a week- got it mowing a couple of yards and chopping up some trees in my yard. Sucks!!

Best thing to do to relieve the itch is spray the area with the hottest water you can withstand. Itches like crazy at first, but then slowly subsides and then you will be itch free for hours.
