YUCK! I HATE poison ivy! I got it last year and it started creeping up to my face. I had to call my doctor and she gave me meds. I got it again and called her but she wouldn't give me any meds unless it was on or near my face. I wished I would have lied and said it was all over my face! So I thought I would have to suffer but I went to CVS and bought IVYSTAT. It was kind of expensive but it worked wonders! I was able to contain the rash and it aleviated the itching. I hope I don't get any poison ivy this year but it's hard not to. It's all over the place where I walk the dog and I like to walk in the woods. I just LOOK at poison ivy and I get it! YUCk!!! Good luck!!
I thought I was the only one to look at it wrong and get it! I had it so bad one year that I was picking weeds and I forgot there was poison ivy where I was weeding. The next day the blisters were so bad on my left hand that it looked like my fingers were stuck together!
