Saltwater/sunburn will clear it up in a day.
Lay out in the sun for a few hours and wade into the water every so often - no sunblock. It will be dried out by the next day.

Glog,
Did you run the warrior dash? I ran it Saturday and have poison ivy on my legs.
Technu is the best over the counter for it, if its real bad head to the Dr for the good stuff.

yes. i ran sunday.
going to be tough to get to the doctor's over the holiday weekend. will get the technu and throw some extra shock in the pool and spend some time in there. i put bleach on it once when i was younger and it worked, but hurt and probably isn't all that healthy.
maybe i'll take some of my dog's prednizone, the wife would (a nurse) would love that. |

Spend a sunny day walking along a saltwater beach getting your legs wet and the best part is you can beach fish at the same time.
The fishing will help take some of the pain away

I've always washed it with a lye soap such as Fels Naptha or Octogon - old, brown bar soaps. It really helps dry it out and diminishes the itchiness. I also use the spray version of Benadryl on it. If you can tolerate the stickiness, it does cut out the itchies. Good luck.

It was fun. I expected harder obstacles. Mud was a bit over the top.

Another vote for steroids and anitbiotics. Last summer I tried to "wait it out". Bad choice, by the time I finally caved in and went to the doc I was covered from head to toe (including the one area where you DO NOT want it). Had scars all winter that just went away.
The meds clears it up really quick.

oh um....during the 4th of july
remember:
one last thing about healing your skin....
your body definitly requires vitamin B to do the job
unfortunately
alcohol leaches vitamin B right out of your system
and is one of the big causes of a hangover
(the rest is due to "beverage of choice" impurities)
Brewers yeast (the nutritional yeast)
is very helpful in this regard and that is how
i discovered it.... actually, as it turned the tide of the
poison ivy infection around in two days so that it was
rapidly retreating  as good as the steroids work.
or eat some banana's as Karl likes to say  |

Never had it myself...thank god
Jewel weed is supposed to neutralize the PI oils when exposed. My backyard is full of the stuff....grows in areas often not far from the ivy itself.

I'll go with this. My Dad used to poison ivy bad and sun and ocean would take care of it faster than anything else. |
