I will stick to spaying brake cleaner on it.... it burns, but it clears it up. Ow! I'd be careful with that. A friend of mine years ago tried putting gasoline on it and ended up with blood poisoning. But, if you've used brake cleaner without any adverse effects, it might be OK.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I don't catch it but bleach will dry it up and stop the itching as well

My dad always washed with white gas.
Vinegar and bleach bath for me ,then treat itch with raw Jewelweed.
Some people boil down Jewelweed to concentrate.
Then freeze in ice cube tray and store in freezer bags to rub it on year round.
Don't do that myself ( afraid of kids eating the ice cubes ) .

lots of truth in this thread. Mostly about pie, strawberries and jewelweed.
The only surefire poison ivy cure I have ever found is to not come into contact with any in the first place.
Reminds me of the time we rubbed poison ivy leaves on the toilet paper in the outhouse at work... LOL. Was it effective Hutchy?
I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I'm thinking the shoe polish just dries it up.
just That is exactly what the old timey Ivy Dry does. In will shrivel up 2nd degree blisters in a days time with repeated applications. It is wonderful! It must be some kind of common solvent. It stinks and stains real bad.
