Poison Ivy, it got me good

I haven't had a case like this since I was a kid. Damn stuff is breaking out all over me. It started on thuesday and has been getting worse by the hour. I washed myself with 'brown' soap and made a paste to cover the affected areas. I guess I caught it too late. I hope it doesn't spread down the the netherlands. Damn I hate this. >:( >:( >:(

I feel for ya. Many friends have had it. Fortunately for me, I seem to be immune to Ivy and Oak.

Sorry HCT, poison ivy is never good :(

If it doesn't improve I highly reccomend Zanfel. Poison Ivy seems to love me and that has been the best thing for recovering. If you go to your pharmacy and ask for it they typically have it behind the counter. You don't need a script but it is pricey.

Thanks Buck.

My wife had it really bad last year and that made me afraid I'd get it in the south 40 as well. She ended up getting a shot for it which helped tremendously.

Don't let it go too long without seeing a Doctor. A guy at work had it and it spread all over his body before he saw a Doctor. He had a tough time getting rid of it.

Hang in there and don't touch any thing, Brad

My favorite saying when the kids incessantly ask where there mother is: "Broke her leg, had to shoot her." They no longer believe me, but the first couple of times, you could tell they weren't really sure ;D

That poison ivy is wicked stuff. I hope it clears up soon.

Hey Mike,
Ain't it the truth. :-\

Good luck with that clearing up soon. We've got a bunch of the stuff at the family cottage. I've got to watch my 18 month old like a hawk, otherwise he'd walk right into a big patch, sit right down and start sniffing and eating the stuff. Yikes!!
