I would just like to say be careful when in the forest or gardening, etc. I have it right now, but not nearly as bad as the first time. It is incredibily annoying\painful. K, i felt like sharing.
Let me add a further warning: DON'T BURN POISON IVY One of my friend's dad burned a patch of poison ivy. My friend was exposed to the smoke. He got poison ivy in both his eyes and lungs. Don't burn poison ivy, please, just walk around.
He was out of school for a coupla weeks and was really miserable. Only plus side being that he couldn't scratch so I guess it went away relatively quickly. I've had poison ivy and it isn't fun, but I can only imagine what he felt like.
Yeah, the shit is everywhere in florida. I'm deadly allergic to it, and I walk barefoot and i never really have a problem with it. Just remember to get tecnu on it and don't touch it... it'll clear in three days to a week. Sometimes, i won't even get it if i wash really soon and put tecnu on it.
