POISON IVY remedy in case you ever need it
About a week ago i got a pretty bad case of poison ivy. I tried different things like camomile lotion, aspercreme, biofreeze, and ozone infused hemp oil. They helped a little bit but not much. Also i tried cleaning the rash with warm water and lye soap then rinsing it with cold water. This helped to relieve the itchyness for a while but the rash soon started itching again.

Then i got the idea to use some colloidal silver. I put some in a little spray bottle and sprayed the rash. Almost immediately the itchiness stopped and stayed pretty comfortable for a longer period than from the other remedies.

If you've ever had poison ivy you know that the ichiness can really be challenging to deal with so i was pretty happy with this result.

I then did a search for poison ivy and colloidal silver and found this article:

Keep this in mind if you or a loved one ends up with a poison ivy rash.

Good luck!

October 5 2021 additional ingredient: doing further research I found that people were getting even better results by mixing equal parts of colloidal silver with aloe vera gel and then rubbing that on the affected area.

I'm trying it now. I'll let you know.

Brake clean works 100% of the time. Spray it on, let it sit, then wash off with pine tar soap.

Re: POISON IVY remedy in case you ever need it
I got it so bad one summer in California when I had paid 800 for Reggae on the River, a weekend event. We parked our RV and I couldn't go out in the daytime at all I was so miserable. Benadryl and beer and I got Tecnu to get me through it. I was so ticked off. I stupidly thought I had hives at first and put coconut oil all over, spreading it everywhere. It was perhaps the most miserable weekend I ever had. I got some black soap after the weekend that really worked but I can't remember what it was called. They sold it at the health food store.

Jewel Weed grows near Poison Ivy and can help the itching.

In nature, poison plants usually have an antidote plant nearby. Such is the case with Poison Ivy and Jewel Weed

Tecnu.

Available at most drug stores. Massage into affected areas for a few minutes within 6 hrs of contact.

It breaks down and removes the oil from the poison ivy that causes the allergic reaction.

Vinegar.

Better yet, vinegar and salt, if you can stand the pain.

Vinegar is also excellent as a preventative.

If you think you exposed yourself to poison ivy, wipe the area with a paper towel moistened with vinegar. Removes the invisible oil.

I don't normally have a problem with poison ivy but once in a while I get a minor irritation. Just run hot water, hotter than you would be able to normally stand on it. It'll overload the itching sensation for hours.

Re: POISON IVY remedy in case you ever need it
I golf as much as my job and wife will reasonably tolerate. I get poison ivy chasing errant golf balls. two years ago i used Liquid Skin on a rash just to see if it would relieve the itching. It did but it also cleared up and completely healed the rash within a couple days. Try it, it works great.

Re: POISON IVY remedy in case you ever need it
best thing I have even found for Poison Ivy is fresh miners lettuce. Blend in a blender with water and apply. Works great.

Stops the itching in a couple of hrs and stops the spread imediately. Burns slightly when you first apply it. That means its working

Re: POISON IVY remedy in case you ever need it
Used to get poison ivy Realllly bad when I was a kid, got put on steroids everytime.

Knowing you've been exposed and washing the Urishol (oil) off immediately is the only way to really "beat" it. For that I used to use gas, bleach, or something called "Fels-Naptha" bar soap (a bar soap used for laundry containg naptha)... but you gotta get it immediately, like within 15 minutes before your body reacts...

Once your body reacts, it's normal contact dermatitis, just treat it like any other allergic rash, oatmeal baths/soaks seemed to help me the most...

You don't need to buy anything to remedy poison ivy -- your body makes the cure. It's in your own urine.

I sprayed this shit on my neighbors annoying toddlers and it didn't make them go away. It actually just made them worse and caused a high pitched scream and crying.

Re: POISON IVY remedy in case you ever need it
The key to getting rid of poison ivy is to get rid of the oils that the plant leaves behind. Tecnu is a soap that will supposedly wash the oils away.

If you work in the yard, get the oils all over yourself, then sit on the couch, now your couch has the invisible oils on it and can re-infect you as well as others. Same thing with the car, hop in your car after working in the yard, take a trip to the store, it's all over your car.

These days, any time I think I've come near poison ivy, I immediately wash with tecnu so I don't spread the oils all over the place. You can also use it in your laundry (recommended).

Poison ivy doesn't hold a candle to poison oak, also a vine.

Heck after a real bad case of poison ivy as a kid I became immune to it. But poison oak will nail you every time - just look at it cross eyed and it's on you & takes forever to go away.
