When I was a kid I used to get poison Ivy every summer for years, regardless of whether I built my tree house that summer or not. I heard many years later as an adult that once PI is contracted it has a 7 yr cycle. Dont know if this is true or not but i havent had it as an adult.
I remember going thru bottles if not gallons of Calamine lotion and hot baths to open the blisters. Jeff <[email protected]> wrote: That hurts just to think about it.

It soaks through the skin and combines with some substance in a lower layer of the skin and produces a substance that the imuune system then reacts to with blistering. I have had it many times and have not found something that gets rid if it fast. I wonder if the DMSO might carry the carbolic acid further into the body. It may not be good if it does that.
