Man, I've never had an outbreak before... but brought back a good case from Kentucky.

what fun.

Any of the 1% cortisone creams knock it out for me. Apply often and liberally.

I normaly get it when hunting season comes in but the 1% hydrocortizone does the trick

A shot in the arm from the doc is about the only thing that works for me, not to mention it starts working instantly!
I hate that stuff!!

That Benedryl clear lotion is worth $1000/oz for poision ivy and chiggers!!!!!!!

It's FINALLY turned the corner... I did the Teknu soap deal, the Calagel lotion, the 1% hydricortisone cream... none of it worked.

Thanks for the tips, though. You better believe I'll be on the lookout for that mess the next time I hit the woods!

Glad ya got a handle on it, IKN.
My Moma always put calamine lotion on any itch problem, particularly the poison ivy or oak variety. It's still a staple in my medicine cabinet along with rubbing alcohol, h. proxide, and Vick's.

Bourbon and coke. Apply liberally until rash and itching disappear.

The Teknu treatment (not just the soap) works for me, the soap is only for within a couple of hours of coming in contact with it.

I never had a problem with it until I got into it with a weedeater , now I start itching every time I play golf (anyone who plays will know what I mean).

Golf?

I think that's what these yankees call the GULF.

Golfin and Gulfin, two of my favorite pastimes .

Apply a layer of catfish slime and allow it to dry. Itching will stop immediately... An old fisherman's remedy

Eeeeeuuuuwwww. Suppose you don't have a catfish handy... then what?
