Re: poison ivy
I'm allergic to the stuff too, got a three or four foot bush of it in one of my flower beds, sometimes I just suit up, get rid of the stuff, then shower up real good, wash all the clothes and tools but I usually still get a small patch or two of the rash.
That stuff itches like crazy!

Re: poison ivy
Yep. You're right about that! If I intentionally go after it to get rid of it off my property, I do a good job of washing up and don't get it much.
If I get a bad case of it, it's because I wasn't paying attention and came into contact with it accidently.
I've gotten it from handling firewood cuz I didn't know and had no way of knowing the firewood had the oil on it.

That's what happened to me a few years ago. Went swimming in a seclluded spot in WI and then went to Denver. It was after I got to Denver it showed up.

Re: poison ivy
poison ivy sucks but a way to help it quit itching and go away probly the quicket but defanatly the most painfull is to scratch it really good then pour gasoline on it  it hurts like hell but usally works
