So I got it bad on my arm nearly 2 weeks ago. Nearly healed up, got the dry patchy spots now after some gnarly blisters. Avoiding itching was a bitch. And Im just.. staring at my gloves on the table.. Knowing that if I touch them I risk life and limb but also knowing I really need to do something with them and my tools that I was using to cut stuff out. I mistook it for a small tree growing by my bushes Dx

I always have wondered if my dog has gotten poison oak on his fur then passed it along to me. I don't have poison ivy experience in the west but I have had my share of poison oak.

Thanks for this. You said to clean clothes, implements etc. Please tell us what is best to use for cleanup.

To me it depends on the severity. It can stay on your clothes too.

I used acid water from Kangen machine so I did not get any itching.

Ive had mine for 6 straight weeks now! Tried everything from creams to prednisone to shots. Constant itch with more ourbreaks by the day!!

Six weeks later and mine is about 90% gone. Still itches on all of the affected places, but the most of redness and weeping are gone.

Mine was 6 weeks, even after prednisone, antibiotics and every otc imaginable. The itch was a nightmare.

Dawn soap and wash cloth within 2 hours will prevent a lot of trouble

I’ve had it on my face and eyes for two and a half weeks! My eyes and cheeks swollen. It’s so terrible! It’s much worse than poison oak. I’ve been in misery!
