Poison Ivy ???? PLEASE HELP?
The only thing you can do is:





1-Wash the area thoroughly with soapy water. This removes the oils which are causing the reaction, and prevents further spread of it.


2-apply a topical antihistimine (anti-itch) cream/ointment... use the 2% cream, it's twice as effective as the 1% cream. This eases the external itching.


3-start taking an antihistimine orally (Benedryl, etc). This will help ease the allergic reaction internally.





These other "home remedies" are folklore.
Reply:This is going to sting like hell, but it works. Stand naked in the bathtub or shower and pour bleach on the effected areas. As I said, you'll cuss up a storm, but it will in fact kill it.
Reply:rubbing alcohol it burns bad but drys the oil up good,. worked for my hubby in the past
Reply:Its not a home remedy, but a purchased one, but I swear by a product called Technu. Available at most major drug stores.
Reply:A good medium-term recipe from my hillbilly relatives is to take the bark from a wild cherry tree, boil it up, and make it into a tea.





It tastes horrible, no matter how much sugar you put in it... But you know what? I used to get poison ivy so bad it swelled my eyes shut, but after drinking this horrid concoction for about a week and a half, I never got poison ivy again!
Reply:Yes I do my daughter use to get poison ivy bad. we would make a paste of corn starch and vinegar and spread in on like Calamine lotion(the pink stuff.) I will dry like the pink stuff and releave the itching. You will also have to do Benadryl and antihistamine to control the itching. Keep your bedding and clothes clean as this spreads for easy.
