AAAHHHHHH!!! Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Attack

[Rock Island Ranger]

Poison ivy has ruined portions of my childhood. In my experience nothing has worked except time. Technu has only helped me prevent an outbreak, other than that it didnt do a thing for me. Soap and hot water does dry it out though, try that.

Well, better your childhood than your manhood.

Think thats what he meant.

Yeah Bro - Get the Technu shit. I recall some pogue who used to come to this board mentioning he got a janitorial type job at that company. Anyway.... that and some prednisone as someone else mentioned will work great.

Its Tecnu without the H there Ranger Spartan.



And I ain't no damned pogue janitor! :D :D

The fauna in NC will make every attempt to scratch, scar, strangle, itch, shoot poison or give you a fucking rash.

Well, better your childhood than your manhood.

My arm has healed pretty well. My leg is healing, but still looks like beef jerky. The scabs are coming off, so it should only be a few more days until it is all gone.

The Prednisone shit is making me ill. As soon as my leg looks a little better, I'm ditching the Prednisone.

Thanks for the info everyone. I think the Technu and Ivarest has helped the best, though.

Can you believe I've spent like $46 on over-the-counter shit and $3.75 on the Prednisone?

Prednisone is a rough drug when it comes to side effects. Try taking the Prednisone with food. It may help your GI upset. You will probably be okay to stop the Prednisone abruptly without causing any side effects since you took it for such a short time.

I take it with food, per instructions. About 3 more days and it's going into the round file.

Yea, I've had some nasty run-ins with that shit. It can get HIDEOUS. All you can do is not scratch it but if you do and it gets to the point where it doesn't itch anymore and just gets worse....well I didn't wait to see how bad it could get. I got some shat from the doctor.

Weak Dep, you need to go post an Intro in the proper forum.

Your screen name has already been changed to match you actions.

My advice: go to the doctor and get a shot of benydryl. If you're like me, it will come to that eventually anyway.

LOL

I'm with KW Driver... what in hell's the big deal?

I used to rub great handfuls of poison ivy on my face and arms in middle school during recess, to make the girls go crazy.

I guess young teens have strange senses of humor.

No reaction whatsoever from me.

Got to see the results once of someone who burned a great pile of brush, that was apparently full of ivy, or oak. He was in the hospital for a week. No shit. The smoke can be REALLY bad for you lesser mortals out there
