From a friend in the south...Original Pine-Sol , just dab some on the rash, or add a couple table spoons full in your bath water.

I own a tree service so we are always getting in the stuff, two of my employees get it and would have to go to the Dr. Couple years ago and old timer told me to start eating a few small leafs of it in the spring and an occasional piece throughout summer. Now we no longer get it

My whole family swears by Tecnu (maybe teknu). Great stuff available at Walmart. When we think we may have gotten into poison ivy we wash down with it. Treat the rash as well.

Grind up aspirin and make into a paste with a small amount of water. Place this paste on the rash and allow to dry. The salicylic acid can help to speed healing.

.baking soda. Just sprinkle it on.
Ivy is acid, soda is base=neutralization >> this was posted above just make a paste using both aspirin and baking soda. Will dry it up in a hurry.

I use milk weed sap or a plant that have milk like sap. I put it on for a few days and then it is gone. Also works on oak and sumac.

I was just told about this stuff last week. I’m going to buy some and give it a shot. I get it so bad every year it ruins my life for 2 weeks.
I already got a rash about 3 weeks ago with 20” of snow on the ground!

Last fall, I made up an ointment of jewelweed, plantain and olive oil. I have never had poison ivy but my turkey hunting buddies catch it every time they go in the woods. I made the stuff for them. This weekend it is an absolute certainty they will be trying it out. Stay tuned.

Burn piles with old leaves are really toxic, because the oils are taken into the lungs and spots all through the body.

Springer spaniels are poison ivy magnets their long hair picks up the sap from broken pi branches that is above the snow, this sap is 10 times more caustic than leaf rubs.

Watch when you are cleaning ruffed grouse, all those white berries are poison ivy in the crops of the bird.

Not sure what I got into yesterday. About 2-3in grass right next to a beaver dam. Placed my hand in it to steady myself while I made a castor mound set. INSTANTLY my wrist started prickling like I was in stinging nettle; with in a minute had several small blisters. Went up to the shop, washed it off, poured white vinegar over it. Did the same about an hour later and took two benadryl. Blisters were gone but kept tingling. That was about 5pm.
10pm just a little bit of redness left and still was tingling and prickly until about midnight. Wished I knew what it was. Can't see anything but short new growth grass.

Heat is not your friend. Cold is. Heat will make the itch a lot worse. Cold , saltwater soaks to alleviate the itch and to dry it.


Aaron Priffitt is correct. Hot water will move that poison ivy oil to all parts of your body. When I got into it, before it manifested itself, I used cool water and Fels Naptha soap to wash off the oil. Never had a rash.

Northof50, appreciate the idea but that hand never touched the water. Just put my hand against the grassy bank to steady myself. I've been down there 3 times today trying to i.d. something besides grass. Weird deal for sure.

Prednisone. When I planted trees as a young man I was in thickets of poison oak and didn't get it by consuming lots of prednisone.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
