I've never had poison ivy but now that I have made note of that, I'm sure next time back East I will stumble into a thicket of bushes with poison ivy.

No it isn't contagious. You cannot spread it to another person. It will not spread on your skin by scratching it. I remember in school if someone came to class with poison ivy that there were so many kids freaking out and would basically isolate the kid because they didn't wanna get it. I stopped even saying anything, because they believed what they wanted to believe. |

Ive only had it a handful of times. My brother on the other hand would get that shit just by looking at it. one year we were cleaning up old brush piles. we set it ablaze not knowing it was full of it. He had breathed in some of the smoke and got it in his throat. He was a dick to me when we was younger but damn I felt sorry for him

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but to get a good 3-4 hours of itch relief, take the hottest shower possible, especially spraying the rash area for a good ten minutes or so. It will be miserable at first but it will be sweet sweet relief after the initial torture.

GoodRx preys on independent pharmacy. They are not good for anyone except the uneducated patient. |

They are also using your data, and if you don’t take some extra steps, the money you spend won’t count towards your deductible All that said, I don’t blame people for trying to save money on their prescriptions. |

Oh gdammit...I meant those prednisone packs you take for several days.
The first time i got poison ivy, I was helping a buddy clear his new construction lot. I never had it before and didn't even know what it looked like. It was dead of summer, muggy, and had taken off my 8lb tshirt a few hrs ago. The back yard was riddled with the shit, and when I figured out what was happening, i had been wiping sweat off my face, taken about 5 Smithwick's leaks, and scratched mosquitos and chiggers off every part of my body. It shouldn't be compared to a trench in WWI, but you haven't lived until you have eyes stuck shut from weeping eyelids and a pecker so swollen, it looks like the family dachshund was on your lap for a Christmas card pic. I would do GBH to a doctor that suggested a 21-dose pack over a shot if it got that severe. I would rather pass a kidney stone. |
