When I saw this post on poison ivy, I had to comment in hopes to be of help. <br /><br />Now that you've got a bad case of it, it's too late to try to wash up from exposure, but next time you think you've gotten into it, wash with a 'soap' called Tecnu. It's the only thing that stops the ivy oil from spreading. If you can't find it in your local stores, check at the feed store.<br /><br />Also, what absolutely saved my life from time after time of serious poison ivy outbreaks was an herb someone told me to try. Get it at Whole Foods or a similar place - Rhus Tox - it's either in pill form or pellet form. I've been told it's an extract from the poison ivy plants themselves, and if taken regularly for a while, your body will build up an immunity to exposure. I can certainly attest that it works wonders! I used to get poison ivy terribly (within a day of exposure I'd have horrible sores on my arms and nothing would work except for a cortisone shot from the doc and prescription creams). After I took Rhus Tox for about 2 weeks, then only occasionally, I can honestly say I've had only tiny, minor outbreaks that are easily controlled with cream. And I traipse thru the woods and pond area riddled w/ poison ivy all the time!!! In shorts and slip on shoes even! (I know I'm tempting fate but this stuff has saved me!<br /><br />Sorry to be so wordy, but I just felt compelled to pass these 2 products along to you. They've saved my everyday life! <br /><br />Hope you're getting better!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-76974593356296132962010-10-29T18:14:22.372-04:002010-10-29T18:14:22.372-04:00So you brought home a nice bouquet of Poison Ivy. ...So you brought home a nice bouquet of Poison Ivy.

Poison ...What a day! But tomorrow will be better! ♥<br />Poison Ivy is just horrid! My first encounter was when we moved to Louisiana. Our son had done some brush clearing and little did we know that there were p.i. vines under the trees. Poor guy was miserable. <br />I will occasionally get it now from one of my cats. Animals can brush up against the vines, get the oil on their fur and then transfer the oil (which is what causes the reaction) to a person. <br />Just remember this little jingle...<b>Leaves of Three, Let it be!</b> {poison ivy has only three leaves}Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918915129013117664noreply@blogger.com
