I used to get it clearing out brush on my parents, and then boss' properties. I would go get the shot, it would clear up in a week or so. Then my brother (who used to get it like crazy) told me he scratches it and shoots it with carb cleaner, clears right up.
it works.
PS: he lost his virginity with a chick in the woods by our house, and got it from his neck all the way to his ankles down his back, ass crack, taint and all. He was miserable for a week."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

I went hiking through our 72 acre property in New Jersey when I was 10. Crawled over an old stone wall that had been there for 75 or so years and rubbed up against some that was growing on it. On the way home, I was rubbing my eyes because of allergies and stopped to take a piss.
It must have transferred to my hands from my leg where it initially touched the poison ivy, because when I woke up the next day due to the itching, I had it on my face around and IN my eyes, my hands, on and around my cock'n'balls, and it had spread around the perimeter of my waistline.
Found out the hard way that I am extremely allergic. I'm talking dime-to-nickel-sized blisters everywhere it spread to. We tried all the home remedies for a couple days, but nothing worked, and I ended up having to go to the doctor to get a round of steroid shots and a pack of prednisone. I've had it a couple of times since then, and the shots and prednisone are the only things that make it go away in any sort of timely fashion.

Unfortunately I broke a branch off on Monday and went to use a porta-jon immediately afterwards. Never even thought about it being poison ivy until this morning. This is going to be a very embarrassing doctors visit. "Look doc, here is a picture of the plant. I swear it isn't an STI/D".Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

I ground up a bunch of the leaves with a baby food grinder and then soaked the paste it hot water. I then skimmed off the scum that settled on the top of the water and stuck it in a spray bottle with some water and liquid dish soap. Proceeded to spray a mist of my concoction onto the bedding of someone who really chapped my ass.
I am not allergic to poison ivy.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.

The carb cleaner makes sense. It is an oil from the plant, and carb cleaner cleans ALL oils off your skin. Then just moisturize with skin cream.
I heard a guy taking a crap in the woods, grabbed a handful of whatever leaves he saw nearby to wipe with. Of course it had to be poison ivy. He lived through some hell for a few days.

I fish a lot so I've had it and Bad chigger bites. The Best and fastest Remedy take a small bottle of Clorox Clean white rag jump in the shower. shower not like you normally would. Then start pouring the Clorox All over do you affected areas and go to town with it. Do not dilute use raw Clorox let it soak. For about five minutes. Then rinse off with water and that's the end of it.
Sounds stupid but trust me it works And will not fuck you up.Last edited by soap; 07-30-2015, 06:39 PM.
