Whenever I get the sh!t I always use a tube or two, get a couple of shots of decatron and a prescription to prednisone.

never has really worked for me. i went through a tube last time and it did nothing. still have a lil.

but i have a TON of lil samples of topical steroids i was given last time iwent to the doc.

Umm... Zanfel? The stuff works period it doesn't matter who you are. It binds to the urushiol and takes care of it. It isn't exactly old stuff either it is a recent player on the market. Trust me, I always get systemic infections to where I've got to have steroids or I'll be up sh!t creek -- not just for comfort and Zanfel is by God the best product ever evented.

yes zanfel i can show you last time i had it systemic. it did nothing. everything just stayed, more even popped up, and the itching maybe would stop for an hour. right now the stuff is like nothing i could live with this forever right now. its small, but zanfel didnt work last time, and i hardly have any left.

Did you guys know that mango leafs have the same effect? Just not the mango fruit.
Workers who pick mangos for a living suffer as hell, because it's like wading through ivy every day of your life.

but right now i just have small patches. mainly on my legs.

Well, you know the answer don't you?

When going into areas like that wear long pants.

it was 85 degrees, and i had long socks on, and high boots, but shorts. i cant wear pants all damn day at 70+ degrees doing physical work.

MIKE

I was in 83F yesterday with high humidity, chainsawing and moving wet oak using a wheelbarrow yesterday. Heavy enough work for you???

I was working/standing in poison ivy a large portion of the day. And I have no poison ivy outbreaks today (and I am very allergic).

Do what you want, but don't whine about not wearing long pants.

Pay for it when you do the work (ie. long pants) or pay for it later. Your choice!!

ive honestly gotten it while wearing long pants, long shirt, gloves, and a helmet (atv) and i still came out with a hell of an outbreak.

or when i wore all camo gear, and big boots w/ gloves. still got it (paintball).

but see, i was shoveling in a hole, moving pipe around, laying pipe, and was sweating in shorts by 8am. and i have to do that all day. its not easy with pants. cuz there is zero wind in that hole.

I make about 1 spelling mistake per about every 50 posts so I'm ok with it. It was more of a distracted not paying attention mistake that not knowing how invented is spelled.
