Then I'm sure you're aware of the shots you have to get from the hospital to kill it from the inside. That is aweful stuff. Zanfel is expensive, but worth every cent.
@masterofpuppets84 HAVING GOT POISON OAK 10 DAYS AGO I HAVE INVESTED IN VARIOUS PRODUCTS. TAKE COOLER SHOWERS HEAT IRRITATES IT. BUY IVY BLOCK NEXT TIME IVAREST IS A POISION IVY CLEASNING FOAM CAN CLEAN OBJECTS THAT CONTACTED IT TOO. TECNU IS A GOOD MEDICATED POSION IVY OAK SCRUB. IF YOU KNOW YOU TOUCHED IT WASH ASAP WITH THESE PRODCUTS OR SOAP AND WARM WATER IF NO PRODUCT AT THE TIME CLOSE BY. IF HIKING UE OVY BLOCK FOR SURE~ finale will kill the plant spray heavy pull it days later
For most of us, once the oils from the plant penetrate your skin no amount of soap, ajax, or bleach will stop your body from reacting to it. I know, I've been unfortunate enough to get it three times! In my case, poison ivy infects me so bad that if I'm not able to get steroids from the doctors, I'm sure my arms and legs would need to be amputated!
i have it right now and it sucks. i get it at least twice a year and it isnt fun =\

Oh my. Poison Ivy is a pain. It's so hard to get rid of it because birds drop it like bombs everywhere.
