I've had poison oak 3 times in my life, 1 very recently like 3 months ago. All 3 occasions I had broken out in serious rashes covering almost my entire body, including my penis, but this last exposure I had it on my face sealing my left eye completely shut. It was a nightmare. I used Zanfel which worked okay, but my best relief I found was taking 3-4 scolding hot showers daily, relieving the itch for hours on end which made the experience not as bad.

@LesiureBoy Man, I am really sorry to hear about your experience. I can't imagine how horrible your exposure was. Zanfel helps but as you learned, there is really no miracle cure. It's an unholy nightmare. I made this video hoping that I could save someone else some of the misery I have experienced. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your expeience with the rest of us. Good luck in the outdoors!

poison ivy on my penis!

@baseballplayer19971 Oh my Goodness.... I can't imagine anything worse. I would probably see a doctor. Good luck.

I will get a very mild case of poison oak if I'm working in it a lot while in the woods. Its usually just on the underside of my fore arms where the skin is tender. Rule #1 if you are doing anything where poison oak is present: NEVER touch your "junk" when nature calls. Just flop it out and let it go keeping your possibly contaminated clothing well clear. Not many things in life is worse then poison oak on your penis. I'll take it anywhere else but there.

Right on man....thanks. We live in the same area and do the same hikes. Have gotten a horrible case of oak from the remaining wooden part of the plant in the winter.

fuck you nature

@amerizilian I'm really sorry to hear that you are so sensitive to the oil. I used to only get mild cases. I am now VERY sensitive to it. You get worse over time. If you get exposed on a small area, you should experiment with the Zanfel paste. I tell you that it works great. Our local firemen use it in Southern California. Good luck to you friend.

@undiv1dual yeah, I got it really bad disc golfing once. I washed everything and all was ok until I drove the next morning and put my arms on the armrests of my car. A little while later I started getting that all too familiar feeling..... The problem is I get it really bad and have to take steroids EVERY time I get it. There is no such thing as a mild case for me. I am REALLY glad I had medical coverage at the time, I would have been royally screwed if not.
