oh and I'm pretty sure poison ivy isn't that deathly looking ... i mean maybe in rare cases but that looked like a 3rd degree burn that was bit by a rattle snake and then rubbed in nettles

Soap & water DOES NOT remove Poison Ivy oil!! It spreads it! REcommending this "If however you do not have the other towelettes" can cause serious pain & suffering=not wise LADIES!!! I am speaking from experience-Tecnu Ivy works to cut the oil- but you MUST not touch the effected areas if at all possible until the body works itself through the healing process because it can continue to spread once the skin is broken!!!

antihistamine, you mean like the ones that are only good for blocking the histamine receptors in your nasal cavity to reduce congestion? or did you mean the anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen, ect.

thats not poison ivy

those towelettes are not effective once the rash has appeared. Once the rash has appeared, the towelettes would not work at all. The towelettes are NOT designed to relieve itching, but to remove the urushiol oils of poison ivy and oak, off the skin, minutes after you suspected contact with the plant. The most effective brand for relieving itching while removing the oils is Tecnu Poison Ivy Cleanser. You can get it at REI.
