Poison Ivy is Hell

**Hi-Po** · 04-26-2010, 09:08 AM

Been doing alot of work out in the woods, clearing out several acres of land with the chain saw and stuff lately. The damn poison ivy found me, and in a bad way. Its all over my hands, arms, one part of my back, one spot on my side, and a small spot on my temple.

This sucks

Gonna have to be careful even taking a damn piss now, I don't even wanna think of the wrath it could cause if it finds it's way down there

I'm going to visit my brother in Iowa this weekend for party time, looks like I'm bringing a few itchy friends with me this time.

Poison Ivy sucks

Oatmeal bath can be your best friend.

I'm like Spaz - feel in it so much as a kid I'm immune

Make up a paste with baking soda and water and put it on there. Helps with the itching and draws the sap out. Calamine(sp?) lotion helps wonders as well.

I knew some guys in high school that wanted to cut down an oak tree that was grown up with a 'vine' they decided it was a good idea to burn the 'vine' and then cut down the tree.

Have you ever had Poison Ivy in your lungs?? They wished they hadn't!

Never thought that was possible, even after watching House last week, but after seeing this post I'll be sure to remove any veins from now on.

scratch it open then put the alcohol on.... It will hurt like hell for a few seconds but will dry it right up.

I'll bet that's the last time you wipe your ass with that shit huh?

no one is "immune" to poison ivy. You may not be sensitive to it right now but that can change at any time. I don't get poison ivy either but that doesn't mean that I can't or won't so I still treat is as though I were sensitive to it.

Clorox bath

I guess you wouldn't get poison ivy... I wouldn't get poison ivy standing behind the kitchen sink either.

Go to Wal Mart and get some stuff called "Oak 'n Ivy"

My mother gets Poison Ivy bad and that stuff clears it up in just a couple days.

**knightryda01** · 04-26-2010, 05:15 PM

I'm paranoid as hell to get that shit. Always wear pants and gloves when in those situations.

**BdAsBrd01** · 04-26-2010, 05:42 PM

Man get some Benadryl and take it, it'll really help with the itching. Benadryl was making a cream for poison ivy/oak too that dries it up and stops the itching.
If you can't find that then the calamine lotion works well to dry it up and hydrocortizone cream stops the itch.
