PI is not an infection; it is an allergic reaction.

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.

At the same time, touch some Poison Ivy and then touch my sunburned ...err thingy. -----Original Message----- From: V [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 11:50 PM To: Jeff Subject: Re: CS>Poison Ivy Hi Jeff, poison ivy is really not an infection. what causes it is an oily acid called carbolic acid. 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.
