Poison ivy is a douche of a plant

Some idiot tried to prove to me that he was immune in sixth grade by rubbing it all over his arm... He wasn't, and ended up in the hospital with one of the worst cases I've ever seen.

Moral: Don't try to prove you're immunity, just enjoy the fact that you've never gotten it
 
Stinging nettles?? aka the seven minute itch? I'd take those over days of poison ivy anytime. They are bad but they don't last that long. Unless I'm thinking of something else.
 
Well guys that didn't take very long! I just got poison ivy on my arm. haha, there's a first for everything I guess.
 
got infected at starscape. such a douche of a plant was all over my legs. didn go away until like 3 weeks
 
Sorry to bump this thread again, but I actually still don't get poison ivy! What I have now is a mix of poison sumac andbpoison oak.
 
JUST got rid of some type of plant take-over on my legs. My legs never got itchy but they blistered and swelled and pretty much looked like my legs had Syphilis.. The doc's gave me a prescription to I think cortisone/steroid pill and they dried the shit up so dam fast.

If you ever get poison ivy/oak or nettles etc. go to the docs right away, even if it doesn't look too bad because they have the meds to fix it asap, and lets be honest, who wants to be walking around in the summer time looking like that ugly fucker from sin city..
 
Funny story.....

When I was 4 or 5 I was in the woods behind my grandma's house and I decided to piss off a log. I didn't realize (being the toddler I was) that I was standing on wet moss and it could be slippery. I fell four feet onto my face in a pile of my own piss and poison ivy. I was balling when I stood up and tried to close my zipper but I just ended up catching my dick in the zipper. My brother then put me in a wagon and pulled me back to my grandma's house.

Later that day I went home from the hospital with my face/dick/hands covered in poison ivy and a slightly scarred penis.
 
i also hate poison ivy, and also being from PA i know how big of a pain in the ass it is.

for those saying they are immune, you probably arent. if you take a poison ivy and rub it all over you and leave the oil on your skin your probably fucked, but some people really are immune. i was reading online for ways to get immunity (i mountain bike a shit ton during the week, passing poison all the time), apparently if you take some pill or basically digest some leaves during the winter months when the plant isnt around, by the time spring rolls around you should have some immunity.

i said bullshit because i feel like i would die if i had poison in my system. and i just cant trust some random doctors on the interwebs.

anyway, common myths are that if you itch the poison it will spread. Untrue- only the oil from the plant spreads the poison. So all you need to do to not get poison ivy is as soon as you get back from wherever you were, get a shower and soap the fuck out of your whole body and give it a good scrub down.

 
ive gotten it a couple of times. but not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, i was suprised. me and a group of friends had to piss at a party, and some of them decided to shit. i got it around my ankles from pissing and they all got it up their asses and on their balls.
 
Poison Ivy is really uncommon where I'm from. The only place that I've ever seen it/heard of it around here is up around the source of one of the hot springs.
 
when it bubbles i take a needle and open all of em up and soak up all the pussy type shit then clean it really well with dish soap and usually in 2 days its gone
 
I get this shit so much. At least 7-8 times a summer. I'm pretty damn allergic. Let me just tell you that in all of the prescriptions ive had for it,none of them work. The only thing that will work is this cream called tecnu. Its magical try it out.
 
I had it for 3 days to the point where my fave was so swollen I couldn't see... took a week for all the skin to peel off. And yet, Tecnu really does work if you wash with it quick enough,
