Neighbor’s (farmer)wife made a concoction of 3 ounces household bleach to 16 ozs of water. I poured some on a washcloth and patted it on the rashes. No chemical burn and the Ivy was crusting up by morning. Maybe I’ll get some store bought Ivy medicine but as the old saying goes, “poor folks got poor folks ways.” Maybe I’ll just keep that old farmers brew recipe.

Try taking a rag soaked with apple cider vinegar and rub it on the poison ivy. Windex works on chiggers. You might want to give that a shot too. My wife came down with a severe case about a week ago. Tried everything from the pharmacy but the Apple cider vinegar helped the most until the prednisone pills from the doctor took affect.

Dig it raw and pure bleach? Reminds me of the old cure for crabs involving lighter fluid and an ice pick.

In my family us kids were given powdered Tide to scrub with to get rid of poison ivy oils if we were exposed, and any clothes that were exposed got washed in a hot Tide laundering.

As a kid hardly got it. As an adult, just being around it I get it.
