Found Tech-nu works for some people if they wash with it promptly. After the blisters start, tried Ivy Dry but still got large open weeping wounds. Found an article to use Vitamin E. Dried up 90% of the open sore overnight after 4 days of trying Ivy Dry with no results. Vitamin E also takes away the itch and the sooner you put it on, the better the results. Beginning blisters can literally go away after a day or so. Use NAURAL vitamin E. D alpha tocopherol, not DL alpha tocopherol. Had a run-in with a property heavily infested with poison ivy.

I have it all over my legs, and what makes is worse is that i have it on the back of my knee.. so every time i bend my leg, it causes it to itch.. So here's my tip Make a Baking Soda and Water Paste, and Wrap your effected areas in SaranWrap..

It does have "furry" aerial roots; FYI, about the height of PI, this article says it only grows 2-3 foot high – that’s only partially correct (at least here in the south) it grows way up into trees and shrubs.

It dries out skin. Swim in chlorinated pools. Dont shower in hot water, this sperads the pioson. Wear oven mitts or thick socks on your hands to keep from itching. Do not put lotion on. Get over the counter allergey pills. Take before bed. Do not itch. Contact a doctor if it hurts, swells, or ozzes pus. Cover it if it scrapes open and leaves a scab. Keep covered ontil healed. get well soon!! :) use rubbing achol. I use it, put it on paper towel and dab the poisoned areas. It dries out skin. Swim in chlorinated pools.
