On the edge of insanity..
I tried a bunch of remedies. I would run hot water over it and or a hot compress. then I would let it dry and put calamine lotion on it. I also used rubbing alcohol on it sometimes and it seemed to quell the itching also. Oh, and I took benedryl throughout the time I had it. This is what worked for me. The best defense is offense. If I know I have been in contact with it I wash it off wth soap and water immediately. I never want to get it again. It was miserable.
Forgot about the alcohol. Yeah, I know what you mean. I swear I can just look at it and I break out. Sucks too because I am the outdoors type and I always have to be on the lookout.

When I used to clear trails for Camp Jeep I used to carry a small travel size of Dawn with me and go wash up in a creek. Horrible little plant...

I have played in it , laid in it, worked in it and ...... in it. Never gotten it. Figured I was immune to it. No, no ,no. Got it last year for the first time. Terrible stuff. Moral of the story. If you think your immune to it your probably not. Each plant is different. :blink:
All depends on da oils ya get out of it when ya play wiff it :unsure:

Thank you sweetie, but me thinks you are just trying to make me feel better because I am pretty sure I am the oldest one here

ya mights end up gettin it

Yup. I've pulled it, worked in it, sat in it... no problems. But I've read often enough to know that don't count for nothin'. The next time can always be The time.
Dats what I said last nights. My husband smiled bout it. :unsure:

I also read where it will not spread to other parts of your body but I don't know if I believe that myself. I know it felt entirely to good when I scratched at it.
Yes it will spread. Wherever the oil from the plant travels. I got Ivy every year from the animals when I was younger and it would start on my arm or just one spot and then I'd even have it in my throat and eyes, every place from it spreading. Used to miss 2 weeks of school every year from that crap. Had to get meds from the doctor for it I'd have it so bad :(

Jose Cuervo is a friend of mine.;)
Juan Valdez and his coffee bean haulin jackass is my friend :D
