ive had it before, bu this is a billion times worse, its all over my body arms face and neck, the only fucking way i can sleep is by popping two benadryl every 4 or 5 hours.
whenever you start to get, take a HOT shower and scratch the hell outta the area infected. scratch til it bleeds, then wash with soap. no more itching and just a couple of scabs to deal with. plus, it won't spread anymore
i get it so easily, i can just be in the general area of the plant and i break out. i go to the doctors and get pregnasone (sp?) and it clears it up in 5 days tops. i have extra too so when i get it in the future i don't even have to go to the doctor. however, the drunk makes me burp and fart like disgusting acid burps. haha
^ don't be surprised if you get it when your older, it often changes later in life. People who get it horribly eventually don't get it as bad when or the other way around too.
im on prednazone (sp?) and im taking 8 pills of that shit a day, currently i can sleep without taking about 6 pills of benadryl between the time i go to bed and wake up.
i'm on the same stuff and they told me to take 4 pills for the first 2 days, 3 for the next 2, and 2 for the nest 2 days, and then 1 a day, but there are 50 pills so i am gonna be takin it for days!!
haha funny story one time i went to go take a shit in the woods and i whipped my ass with poison ivy bc it was like 11 oclock at night and it was the biggest leave in range
yeah, i know some guys who had poison oak smoke in their eyes and throat... nasty. i got poison oak last summer and it festered in my knee for so long. Then i fell on my knee and opened the sore up and... ewww....
