Default poison ivy

Well it's offcial I went to the doctor after having a horrible rash and it runs out I have poison Ivy. Let me tell you guys be careful this stuff sucks!!! I'm in so much discomfort. Always wear long sleeves in the woods and know what plants you're rubbing up against. Worst part is I can go to work[&:].

did they give you a shot? sometimes they do that and it clears up in no time.

a friendly tip: if you hunt out of treestands a lot, stay away from trees with the funny looking fuzzy vine running up the trunk!

One strange thing about PI. You'll never see somebody that has it on their palms. Don't really know why.That stuff tears me up too. The important thing is to be able to identify it, which I can. A mile away! I hope your's goes away soon Kamil.

I always end up in the stuff and never get a rash...I think I may be immuned to it...Just a thought, deer are known to eat it, usually as a last resort

Had my first case a couple years ago. Doesn't hardly grow back home in the U.P., but here in IL, its everywhere. Xanfel has worked real well for me. You can get it at drug stores. It is a wash that you scrub vigorously until the itching stops. It takes the oils away. My wife got poison sumac really bad two years ago, has a couple scars actually.
