Question:


Answers:
I wouldn't recommend bleach for treating poison ivy. Anything you put on your skin crosses the skin barrier and is absobed into your system. Please take a look at the link below for information on how to treat this itchy condition : )

Don't put bleach on this - especially if you have a sore wound it will be absorbed in to your body - and it's toxic.

I'd really follow simple directions and you can also do oatmeal soaks make a paste with baking soda and water
or go out and buy a kit called cortaid - check local drug stores.
