Another thing about it that I haven't seen mentioned on here is the seconday infection that you can get from scratching it, and I don't know about all of you, but I don't have enough self-control to not scratch the stuff, it's gonna happen. There's most always some nasty stuff under your fingernails and this leads to a serious infection if you scratch it when it's blistered.

When I was young I would get it often, real bad. I had an old cajun aunt that picked some of the berries and had me eat one berry a day for nine days straight. Since then (45 yrs. ago) I can roll around in it and it doesn't bother me at all. I've recommended this to all my friends and they all think I'm crazy.

haha well my poison ivy is starting to finally go away! it doesnt itch and ill tell you what i did. 1. get a tack or a needle and poke every single bubble until it pops 2. get Q-tips or cotton balls and soak up all the puss 3. jump in a HOT SHOWER like extremely hot and rinse out the blisters for about 5 min. 4. when you get out of the shower spray it with deodarent or anything you have that dries when you spray this will help with drying out the blisters. 5. do that for two days and its gone!  |
