Dear Stephen,

There are two things that work great for poison ivy!

1. Ivy-Dry Super; Quickly relieves all itching from poison ivy, poison oak, sumac and insect bites. This is a spray and works wonders!

2. CalaGel; Medicated Anti-Itch Gel. This is first aid antiseptic gel and it won't run like so many others. If you buy one that runs, you risk the chance of the lotion causing more spread of the poison.

A friend of mine, whenever in contact with poison ivy, would have to be rushed to the hospital, because he was so allergic. Since, he has been carrying these two bottles, just in case. He no longer has to worry about it getting out of control. Yea! No more hospital trips! He hikes a lot and comes in contact with poison ivy and oak a lot!

If it is not too bad, I would get these bottles and cure it on my own. Doctors can get expensive. If, however, you have it near the eyes or mouth and it gets worse, then I would seek medical attention.

Get better!
wash it, once the oils are off it can't be spread, and you have to go the Dr's they give you a cream for it.
Take a warm bath and go to the nearest pharmacy and look for itch cream. I think that's the best way. Hope this helped.
