I am so miserable! I have poison ivy rash and blisters all over my body. I'm also swollen. It's driving me nuts and it just gets worse.
Any recommendations? |

I haven't tried this but how about Burts Bees Poison Ivy Soap?

I haven't tried that but it's about the only thing I haven't tried. There isn't any place within an hour of me that sell's Burts Bees products so I would have to order it. Guess I should list what I've used so far. At the rec's of others I've tried a solution of bleach and salt, vinegar, US army issue lye soap, vodka (topical), benadryl, cortaid, aveeno anti-itch, aveeno oatmeal bath, calamine, caladryl.
I just took a hot bath in aveeno and it seems to have given me some relief for now. I was looking around on the web and saw rec's for using the hottest water you can stand because it brings the histamines out of your skin and it supposedly takes 6-8 hrs for your body to produce more. Maybe I can atleast sleep tonight. |

If it is all over your body, you should really go to the doctor. He can prescribe a course of cortisone and it will be much better in a week or so.
I feel your pain, I am HIGHLY allergic to poisen ivy. |
