HotCarl Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Cut it open, bleach it. You may want to dilute it with some water, though. Im not sure if i would use that on your face though. Whats worse, Calamine lotion in your eyes, or bleach? If its that clost to your eyes, i'd get the shot and get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oo0martelle0oO Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I always used stuff called Ivy dry. Did a pretty good job owning a pool helped too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Go to the doctor!!!! I got it pretty bad last year from around my garden. I had to wear gloves to pick up my baby for three days. It just got worse, I had to go the doctor and get a shot to get rid of it.

Guest 5.7 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 my grandma would go into the woods in our backyard.. and get these tall plants that kinda remind one of a umbrella.. she said they worked way back in the day.. and once you used it you wouldn't get anymore ever again.. squeezed the clear sticky stuff out of em and then put it on the poison ivy.. and I would get it really bad... so far I have yet to get any since then...

silverhatch Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Tecnu. http://www.tecnuextreme.com/ That stuff is great! I use it everytime after mowing the grass. Calagel works good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 With it being on your face, go to the doctor. If it spreads more, it is not good. I use to get it very badly when I was a kid. Since I was a Boy Scout and in the woods all the time, my doctors ended up putting me on the roidz during the summer months. Hardly got it then. I think the plant that TorchRedSVT is talking about is the milk weed plant. I have been told it works as well. It never worked for me, so I think it is hit and miss.

Guest Mushijobah Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I forgot natures own poison ivy treatment...Jewel Weed! It is extremely common in Ohio's forests. http://www.westol.com/~banding/Jewelweed_090602.jpg Rub the leaves onto the rash. The juices help.

Sam1647545489 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 OMG I am sitting here and all I want to do is take a piece of sand paper and rub my face with it. Doctor was good gawd when he looked at it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Quik7 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 sounds like you might be allergic to it....i used to be when i was younger, my eyes would swell shut, that shit sux0rs...shot was always the best, even though it was usually in the ass and burned like hell. other than that, i'd just take a bunh of hot showers thru the day, dunno if it helped, but it felt good and i'm sure it cut down the progression of the oils.

Doctor was good gawd when he looked at it.. Leaves of 3 are not a friend to me Atleast you didn't get poison oak, that's worse then what you're feeling.

BIG SHAFE Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Leaves of 3 are not a friend to me Atleast you didn't get poison oak, that's worse then what you're feeling. +1 I had that once or twice, worst thing ever. 1000x worse than poison ivy, just oozes for days.
