+Team_LPD Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Okay, who else besides me has got the first dose of poison ivy for the year? My wife and I were doing a cache here in NEPA and I must have come into contact with the little bugger somewhere. I've got a nice rash on the inside of my elbow. Its not itching anymore, but its in the oozzing/weeping stage!! Poison ivy and I do NOT get along very well! Quote Link to comment
+Cryptid Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes, I caught Poison oak in April. I get it real bad, with real big blisters. Poison Oak Quote Link to comment
+Sileny Jizda Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I don't get it for some reason. Walked into a heap of it yesterday to show some wood for removal. The guy thought I was nuts out of my tree. Quote Link to comment

+mamid Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I got hit with poison sumac last week. It was two days before I stopped itching and several more before the sting finally went away. And I washed as soon as I got home as well as washed on site. Quote Link to comment
magellan315 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Had the same problem a few weeks ago, try a product called Ivarest. Stops the weeping and itching for 8 hours, smells nice to. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm not very sensitive, but I have a geo-buddy who is quite enamored of BUJI, applied to arms and hands before hitting the bushwhack. Seems to work. Quote Link to comment
