My arms are smothered in poison ivy.

Sorry ... that's the worst!

At least you don't have it on your man bits.

I've got secondary rashes on my forehead, back, and fingers. I may have a tertiary rash starting to form on my private parts. :(

You're supposed to check for poison ivy before you have sex in the park.

Seriously, I think you should go to a doctor. Have you ever had poison ivy this bad before?

No, but that's because the reaction is accumulative. The next time I get it, I will have to go to a doctor.

Tecnu works OK, if you can get it on early enough, like within the 1st couple of hours. At least in my experience. It does work on poison ivy.

I've scrubbed with tecnu 5 times in the last few days. While I'm at work I put prep h on it and bandage it. When I get home I shower and scrub again, and put calamine lotion on it and air dry. Washed my sheets last night and slept with long sleeve shirt on.

I may try an oatmeal and bleach bath tonight...

Just use rubbing alchohol. It works just as well and is way cheaper.

I tried rubbing alcohol one time, and it didn't work as well as Tecnu.

did you go to the doctor? get some prednisone.

I've had some truly awful experiences with poison oak (in cali thats what we have).

I had it all over my face-in my eyes...i'd wake up unable to open them because the pus had sealed them shut. it was majorly fucked.

You have to fight fire with fire. Go into the forest and search for the magic oak vine. Rub this plant all over your body and it will heal the wounds you suffer from.

You could also use vinegar or lime juice.
