Ambrosia Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago, spent $100.00 and I still have posion ivy. This sucks. I think I'm just going to fill a baby pool up with bleach and live in it for about a week, that will get rid of this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sixpackstang Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 What did the doctor do for you? I used to work cutting down trees and got poison ivy all the time, this is what worked for me... Take a shower and scrub the shit outa the sores, enough so you scrub off the skin and expose the puss. Dry off and put on some CalaGel. (Like Calamine lotion but a gel thats lot less messy) That usually started to dry them up and heal so they don't spread.

TurboRust Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I always scratch the crap outt it like sixpack said, then just dab with bleach or gas, and it will be gone in 2-3 days do this 3-4 times a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Just don't scratch the sores then go to the bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FBody Addict Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 i found running it under really hot water (as hot as you can stand) will relieve it for about 2-3 hours, and it's cheap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 make some oatmeal and put globs on the the bad spots and let sit till it dries, The oatmeal pull the "poison" out and it will dry out soon there after. Note You can laugh but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjeosu27 Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 If it's bad the doctor should give you some Prednizone. It's a steriod that will clear that up in 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Sign Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I go to bath tub, get a gallon of bleach, scratch the poison ivy until it bleeds, and then pour a bunch of bleach on it. It hurts like hell. When it stops stinging, rinse off and go to bed, dont scratch, gone in the morning, but will leave small scars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Originally posted by Mallard: Just don't scratch the sores then go to the bathroom.That happened to a guy we shared a campground with. His friends were nice enough to tie his hands behind his back for the last 2 days of their trip. I've never felt sorrier for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
