- We have a lot of problems with poison oak, ivy and sumac on our 80 acre homestead. I will teach you an old timer's recipe for killing the plan in one day with no chemicals and a gallon of kill is $3. This is so easy, anyone could do it! I will show you how to identify the plan, destroy it, wash the Urushiol oil from your body and heal the rash with things you have around the house in one week! I know it sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. This is a step by step video.

1 cup of salt
1 gallon of vinegar
8 drops of soap (or any surfactant)
Great video. I live in poison ivy infested south GA. It' all over my yard and I have had terrible outbreaks requiring steroids. I can't wear long sleeves and pants in the hot, humid summers. I used to get it multiple times a year. Since I wear shorts and flip flops walking through it. I wash off all skin not covered with clothes with dawn soap and a water hose before coming inside. You can't be slack though, you have to be consistent. I haven't had it in several years now, just by doing that. It is so easy and you come inside clean and refreshed.Prevention is soooo much better than treatment!
I also use Dawn it really works I make a point of keeping some in a small bottle in my purse
Yes, don't burn it , my old girl friend Karen, nearly died from burned poison oak or Ivy her neighbor burned it , and the smoke got in her lungs and she spent weeks in hospital very sick . Be Blessed my friend.
That sounds like a complete nightmare! Terrible way to get sick!
@@GermanShepherdRanch Oh yeah, we are still friends as a matter of fact , and oddly enough just talked about that happening just a few days or so ago, because she was talking about going out in her yard to do some work and I said be careful not to get into any of that because I guess because of how bad it was then 35 years ago, the Dr. Said if she got into again it's even harder or she's more allergic now than before or whatever, maybe it's like eating shellfish if your allergic each reaction is worse than the previous reaction. Don't know how it works , and don't wanna find out ..😱😊
Vernon Daniels I met a guy who said an old timer told him to swallow a leaf to make himself immune. I don’t believe that one for a second!
@@GermanShepherdRanch Oh no !! Me either, I believe that just might be a good way, second that; bad way to maybe make you very sick ; probably killing you in the process if you were unlucky uhhh or maybe you wouldn't wanna live through it. I'm just not exactly sure on this one, to be sure it sounds to me like an extremely bad idea for certain. I am sure there a better ways. I know when I was in my teens , I worked for the City of Fairway, KS. It's right on the edge of Kansas and K.C., Missouri . Where I grew up, anyway when I was working there, the bosses got shots that helped keep them from getting it, what that was I do not know but, Paul never got it again or Sumac or Oak , so I suppose that worked, maybe he was pulling my leg to , he was a 🃏 joker, so it's hard to say .

Soon as rain goes on gonna give it a try. Thanks. Stay safe.
Ps I used to get it bad I mean bad. Between fingers, legs , eyes when around 15-16 finally did what dad said for years eat a piece. I gave in told him do it he went got one shiny leaf of poison ivy and put in bread like little pill swallowed it and it works don’t get it hardly at all and if do it goes away quick next day or so. And it just few bumps blister looking ones. Thanks pops u save day only wish done it sooner. Hey sounds crazy but works. Thanks. If u do eat let me know how it works that’s how mine used to get not no more remember going through granny’s bleach on hands to get relief. Not no more. Think about a vaccine it’s the problem. Ur body fights it. So it makes sense. Stay safe
The FIRST plant you identified is sassafras and that's what you sprayed too! I hate to tell you but I was able to spready mine to different places like my face, much to my chagrin! The weird thing is that I got it from a dog licking my hand!
Yes, another video I watched said that because urushiol is an oil, its imperative that you use a washcloth, and not just plain dish soap, or whatever else you use. A washcloth will help remove the oily residue that remains on your skin (like what mechanics experience).
I had it really bad and found out that a hairdryer on hot works very well. You blow the itchy area for as long as you can take it, it takes away the itch for quite a while and tries it out quickly.
Thank you for this video! Really appreciate it. I just watched another guy putting in a new fence line....he just used 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water...but adding salt wouldn't hurt either. His were mostly very yellow the next day, but some were still green so he knew he had to spray again. I heard you need to get under the leaves as well, if you can. This guy has milk goats, and goats LOVE poison ivy...I have goats too...there's a saying..."Never kiss a goat on the lips"...and because they eat poison ivy is why. Although I don't know why you'd want to kiss a goat on the lips anyway. He got the poison ivy from the goats when he was milking them.
I watched another guy a couple days ago, he does something with forestry maintenance, and said he never gets poison ivy anymore because he learned how to get it off...he said it's more like car grease than oil..he said you can practice with some actual car grease...get it all over your hands, in between your fingers, etc., and then work to get it off like you did with the washcloth. He also said you have 2 to 8 hours to get it off, and that big span of time may have to do with an individual's skin sensitivity. For me, the sooner I can get it off, the better!
I got poison ivy on my shins and just as it started to itch, I knew what it was. I sat on the edge of the bathtub, and used a scrubby with Fels-Naptha bar soap...I rubbed the soap on the scrubby. A scrubby is one of those green abrasive things to scrub pots, pans, dishes. A really good grease cutter, like Pinalen (Home Depot carries it) would probably work really well too. I ran water as hot as I could handle over my shins while I scubbed the heck out of them, as well as the top of my feet just in case. I would stop scrubbing every once in awhile, pat my legs dry, wait a few seconds and if it started to itch at all, I started the procedure all over. My shins were a bit red from scrubbing, but it totally stopped itching and the poison ivy never became a rash or blistered. I've steered clear of the crap ever since.
I have a lot of poison ivy along my fence line but I've tried to keep it under control....The vinegar is sure a lot cheaper than herbicides I have purchased to get rid of it. Can't wait to try it.
I found myself coming back to your videos a 2nd time, just found some poison oak in the yard. Thank you for this Natural recipe. Love your dog she is Beautiful and your pretty handsome yourself. Take care!
I'm clearing out poison ivy and oak from my property, so I'm watching videos to help me, and I just watched a video where the guy used the orange hand cleaner that mechanics or other ppl use to clean their hands in dirty situations. He said it dried his poison ivy up really fast and there was no itching after that... maybe something to try. Thanks for the tips.
friction, the trick is friction. use some dish soap and a wash cloth. the scrub should be a little uncomfortable. GOJO works too, but is $$. I usually do a regular wash with dish soap, a 2nd with dish soap and a wash cloth (with vigorous friction), and then a normal hand washing again and I get it all off. (after pulling bare handed)
My husband buys old cheap long sleeve shirts and cheap gloves. And then goes to war against these plants. The salt/vinegar/laundry soap works. Then after he is done all the clothes goes into trash or burn pit. Also don’t stand around the fire anytime!! Never breathe smoke from anything burning. Stay safe and be blessed!!🇺🇸
I'm learning by trial and error too. I thought I knew what I was doing. I was in the middle of clearing to set up my pool this year and had to stop mid stream. I haven't been able to finish since there is more poison Ivy and I'm still feeling the effects of this last round. Still haven't posted the first part of the video because if this nasty rash!
Note to RUclipsrs who get poison Ivy: Most likely you were filming when you got it, so don't forget to clean your camera and tripods with rubbing alcohol! I realized after it was too late!
Hello, I watched your video on how you're killing poison oak/ivy. Just reaching out to you on how I treat the rash, it's a mixture of Buttermilk and baking soda. You'll want it to be thin enough to spread it on but not too pasty, because it needs to dry on the skin for a few minutes. Like calamine. It's worked for me and family. I've had a small rash gone the next day (after 2 maybe 3 applications at the first signs of it starting). It should dry pretty quickly, then rinse it off, repeat --reapply. I hope this helps. Starting with
1-2 TBS. Baking soda
3 TBS. Buttermilk (adding more to thin to almost soupy
I love the app “picture this”. Tells me what plants are, trees, bushes, etc. it’s awesome!! This is not an ad I really use this 😁
Use cold water, then soak body part in cold salt water. I had poison sumac, ivy, & oak. You are doing a great job in your woods.
I found the best remedy for me is a visit to the beach or saltwater baths. Stopped my rashes in their tracks!
Good luck on your house! Heard orange hand cleaner works well. Trying that
Unfortunately I have Poison Oak growing through my day lilies. I’ve tried to kill all of it since I don’t want the flower and it all came back. Gonna try again and repeat the application of vinegar throughout the year and cover area with cloth and see what happens. Great vid!
I've been to the er 2 times in a week due to cutting up sumac before I knew what it was. Had 2 shots in the butt cheek and 2 steroid packs. The nurse told me to try Tecnu extreme scrub and it helps so so much with the itching. It was way better than calamine for me. Great video and beautiful dog brother thank you
The doc told me every time that you get it it becomes worse.
Some have had more relief with aloe, they say better than calamine...hope it helps
Thank You, I too am very allergic to this poison Ivy/ Oak. I will certainly try your ideas and solutions . I live in SE Oklahoma and I’m constantly getting into that Ivy/ Oak on my property.
Ditto. I'm trying to figure out where my daughter got into it out here. It's some nasty stuff
Thank you. Beware, I had trouble with PI getting on the dog’s feet and I guess they don’t react like ours but they can carry it. My dog slept in the crook of my arm every night and where his paws touched my arm I started getting the blisters and rash from PI I didn’t even know was out there in the yard behind a bush. He obviously found it.
I don't recommend this for most people, but when I know I've got it all over my hands and forearms I just pour a little gasoline on a rag and wipe it off my hands and arms. Then I use the orange hand cleaner to get the gas off. In most cases the orange hand cleaner ( that gets grease off real good) works fine. Dad taught me that back in the 50s. us old timers do things a bit different. Lol. Just dont get gas on any sensitive areas, because it can be almost as bad as the poison plants.
Just moved to arkansas to homestead. I absolutely love Greers and Grinders. Most beautiful lake and river. Great video.
i use dawn blue dish soap and salt mixed together to scrub with it has worked well for me over the years along with a stringent like witch hazel
Thanks! I have these items.. We have it all over out back. I live on a Bayou. We leave the brush there for small critter’s. Bullfrogs, because so much land has turned into neighborhoods now.. We use to cut it down and grass was only there.. unfortunately we have the poison ivy, oak sumac .. I need IDEAS to get rid of it ALL..
If you have a rash that's going good, rub it with some fresh lacquer thinner. It cuts the resin that is still on your skin and dries out the rash and helps the healing process. It also stops the itch for a few hours. Scrubbing hard with Dawn and a towel is key to preventing it if you can do it within a few hours of exposure.
Baking soda and cold water gets rid of the rash and stops the itch
I’m going to try this recipe thank you!
It may work nice video we have used this for a few years but it comes back. We have resorted to chemicals one and done, for sure. We use a a product if not mistaken called RM 43. It takes a little bit of time to work. But that is the best so far. Found it at Tractor supply.
That stuff has kicked my butt several times. Thanks will try this and some of the other remedies I've read on your comments. Gracias!
Thanks this is the best product I have found to stop the itching Tecnu Rash Relief
Damn Man you are the best! Thanks abunch for the in formation. I was up for 4 hours in the morning 1am to about 5am trying to get this shit off! Thanks for the information.
Lots of folks have had relief using aloe, better than over the counter stuff!
Very Pretty area and land
For a VERY quick remedy, take 1 tsp of Activated Charcoal and 1 tsp of Slippery Elm Bark Powder, mix, add JUST ENOUGH water to make a pasty gel. Apply it to your rash and reapply after 12 hours or so. It's messy, so you may want to wrap the affected areas with a cloth.
saving this one for later! THANK YOU! -Alicia
Steady Faith Steady Home it worked better than anything I’ve ever bought at the store! Thanks foe watching. I subd to your channel!
Thanks for info!
After the first day, you can use water that’s as hot as you can take it, let the part of your body that had the rash, run under the water until you feel the relief from itching. You will be able to have at the most 8hrs without itching.
This method by far has provided the most relief and best results within 1 week.
I have done this many times and it absolutely works. It burns like mad but in a good way and then no itch.
This works but be careful with how hot the water is. You can have sensation loss from the rash and actually burn yourself
i found the best way to treat it once you already have it, is with VERY HOT WATER. I have a tea kettle that has a thermometer on it, i heat a small amount of water up to 115-120 degrees and pour a drop or two onto each irritated site as soon as i notice it starting. It burns like hell, but it also feels great because it gets deep down and STOPS THE ITCH IMEDIATELY. Ive noticed if i do that first thing in the morning, it wont itch for the rest of the day. I do that once in the morning, and once more right before bed so i dont itch in my sleep. if you dont itch it, you dont spread it. Sometimes ill do it again mid day if for any reason i notice the itch starting again, just hit it with another quick dose of 115-120 degree water. It works everytime, and if you catch it early enough, and prevent yourself from scratching it and spreading it will be gone in about a week without too much hassle. The enclosed tea kettles with the pour spouts and the temp thermometer are the perfect tool for this. Heats the water up very quick, and they make great tea. Dual purpose. :)
I Get it EVERY year by the way, sometimes multiple times, and i know how to identify it. Ive tried EVERYTHING, calamine, bendryl (topical & oral), tecnu, expensive products, old timer tricks, natural remedies like jewel weed, even grew a huge patch of jewel weed to try to make salves from it. Hot water works the best for me. Stops the itch ALL DAY. Again, if you stop the itch, you stop the spread. So start hot water treatment immediately.
Thanku so much for your helpful video. We just moved and we have alit of poison ivy on our property and I'm highly allergic to it. When I was little my neighbor burned some and it almost killed me . It was in my lungs my throat my eyes and 90% of my body. Almost died to.
Thankyou going to try it!
Have fun!
I use 30-40% vinegar alone or with a few drops of soap. I find the salt inevitably clogs and ruins the sprayer, and strong vinegar without it usually kills the visible parts of the plant within 24 hours. Stubborn plants will resprout in a few days and need a second hit. Also works on Virginia creeper, nettles, etc. Within a week, typically (depending on rain), grass and such will regrow in the same spot, so there's no lasting contamination. Lately, diluting 75% vinegar with an equal part of water has been cheaper than buying 30-40%, for whatever reason. Just don't get the spray on your skin, in your face, etc. It will burn.
For poison rash’s I have found that ( Ivy-Dry or Ivarest ) work better than calamine lotion to stop the itching and help dry it out quicker. There is also a product on the market called Technu that you use after you have been exposed to help wash the oils off your skin. It is a product we used when I worked in the
landscaping industry. My father also used it working for the phone company. There used to be a shot or a pill you could get from the doctors but they found it only worked for a small percentage of people so they discontinued those meds. Hope this may help. Good luck
David Briggs I just took a screenshot of your comment. Thank you so much for it and I’m sure that I’ll be using that later this year when I get poison ivy again.
I control the "itch" is by running very hot water in the shower directly on the rash. Be warned...it will feel like a itch roller coaster at first, but once you ride over the top of the itch, the itch will stop for at least 12 hours. After 2 treatments the rash will heal twice as fast as well as zero itch. Let me know after you try this.
It feels so good and after I put Vicks
I use a heat gun
I use a flame thrower

God's Amazing Blessing's.Thankyou 💗
I love the Farmers Almanac!
The video was very helpful but I was waiting to see what the plans looked like the next day though you would add it to this video would have liked to see if it worked...
Did you ever follow up with this? How did it end up working for you? I’ve got a bill covered in poison oak and I need to find a way to get rid of it...this would be amazing if it works. Thanks
He said it did work. He added 8 drops of dish soap.
We burned some tree limbs and my little dog ran through the ashes and I have had poison oak for several months. Also when we mow it spreads it all over
I have poison oak and ivy. Poison sumac l think grows up north like Canada. But the leaves of three does identify the poison plants, but so does wild blackberries so be careful you don’t kill them off.
Hi, did it kill the poison ivy on your property? I enjoyed your video
I found the slime from oatmeal is the best to nourish and dry out the rash. Smoke from fire def follows me too ha
Nice video. Big help
That looks just like Southern Illinois where I live. Nice.
I forgot the soap it took a very long time but I think it died except for one spot that I will retreat. I may have missed one spot.
1:41 that looks like pignut hickory with the broad leaves at the ends, and you can see that the smaller leaves aren't in threes.
2 words lye soap. Even if you start to feel the itching but before it breaks out try lye soap & slightly warm water. Not hot
I can hand pull poison ivy etc as long as I wash my hands and arms within an hour with dish soap
Hey, you never said if the mixture of vinegar and salt killed the poison ivy?
It did. I added 8 drops of dish soap. Thanks farmer’s almanac!
Was it dead the next day?
yea I had the ivy all over about the same time you did this video, mine lasted 2 weeks and was chitty- the middle week it didn't seem to get better. Ugh never again- i just toss the clothes if i suspect the ivy! good news it didn't kill us
The vinegar and dish soap does not kill the roots. It only kills what is above ground.
3:00 is the formula.
Ty. Goats love it. I heard
Im like you. Very susceptible and a bad reaction. I use alcohol on cotton ball too. I rub the rash very vigorously and imagine the oil im cleaning off. I will usually do it a second time with a fresh cotton ball. That usually stops the itch for a while. If it starts itching, i do it again. This dries it out and helps me heal faster.
Poison ivy is wicked stuff for me. I have a friend that is not bothered at all by it.
They old saying is "smoke follows beauty" and I can see why the smoke follows you. Very handsome fella. I feel for you with the poison ivy. I get it at least once a season. Head to the doctor for Depo-Medrol shot and then of course was the area every day at least twice a day. Sometimes wrap the area if on my arms with gauze over night to keep from getting it somewhere else
you got it on your sprayer tip
What happened to the poidon b ivy...did the spray work????
Did the salt and vinegar actually kill the poison ivy?
If right after it touches you happen to be near water or even sandy mud you can scrub the area with the gravelly dirt and then rinse it off and you should be good. This stuff is gnar I had a friend who was homeless and got poison oak all over his bedding and clothes it was the gift that kept on giving he had it all over for years. I’ve seen construction sites where they removed all the vegetation but where the giant poison oak shrubs were was the bulldozed over mine entrances. Year and a half after the above ground part and most of the roots were removed the mine was opened. Inside there were pencil thick roots going for hundreds of feet along the bottom of the shaft. My coworker went to pick one up and i warned him because aside from knowing what they were i could see them branch off etc. He tells me “No these are wires” and snaps one with his bare hands. I Tell him no dude that is fucking poison oak. So what does he do? He goes and takes a piss, and gets it all over his dick. A few days later as the mineshaft had been broken through in a few spots, everywhere the sun hit the roots new poison oak shoots with oily little leaves started growing. In another place a rockslide exposed roots that were fifty feet down just hanging out for a year and a half with the above ground parts removed. These root started growing leaves where they were freshly exposed to sunlight.
Hey, I think the first plant you showed and said was poison oak is not actually poison oak. I may be wrong here, but I think that is called pignut Hickory
Aaah that is NOT poison Ivy. Grew up around it in the Northeast my whole life, and that's is NOT poison Ivy.
Scolding yourself with hot water will open your skin and drain the oil, cold will close it back up.
Ah! The second plant you pointed out does look like poison ivy.
I have a question to toothpaste work
They make a cream to apply to your skin before you come in contact. It is a preventative barrier.
What is it called!?
@@Sanzs IvyX in the USA, just do internet search for Poison Ivy barrier cream
I love Delta
some iry will spray some have red berry on they iry some are shiny leaves for imformation on line

How so take a bath and cold water it closes your pores
Homemade-Kill-Spray @ 3:05
Wait so mix and spray gallon of vinegar , cup salt, 8 drops dish soap, and I believe you said, diesel as you poured the mixture into the container?
He said his sprayer was discolored because of using it for diesel before. The ingredients in the spray is the vinegar, dish soap, and salt that you attempt to dissolve in some water before mixing everything together
The vinegar for the weeds and ivy should be 20-30 percent and can be purchased at Lowe’s and other like stores. Do not use on skin!
Don't forget about your shoes and pants. You gotta clean those off too if you've been out in the woods. Nice tips though. As someone who lives in the woods, I agree with all of it.
That plant you shot and examined afterwards was not poison ivy. I have been around poison ivy for decades and had many cases. I just cleared poison ivy at my house today. Poison ivy has some look a-likes.
You have to use a wash cloth with Dawn on it, not just barehanded washing.
1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt (dissolved), 8 drops of dish soap
Did it work?
I am highly, and I mean HIGHLY allergic to poison ivy, and like you, only advocate for natural remedies (rather than herbicides, pesticides, and chemical applications) when forcing my demands upon nature.
So, I first want to thank you so MUCH for sharing this great video, because I’m going to give it a try.
However, because I know how much poison ivy/ poison oak bothers me, I must correct one very important aspect of your commentary here.
You DO NOT HAVE two full hours after coming into contact with poison ivy/ oak / sumac, in which to wash off those affected areas of your skin in order to avoid the itchy rash that would otherwise follow. Generally, you have about 12-15 minutes to wash it from your skin. And hot, humid days or even when it’s cool out but you’re all sweaty from some vigorous yard work or outdoor activity - this 12-15 minute window will shorten to less time in which you need to get it off your skin!!
Here are some additional tidbits that may keep you safe from these Poisonous Plants and their itchy effects. Some of this information is highly obvious while other details, more obscure. By no means am I suggesting this list of the ways in which poison rashes can be contracted, as complete, it’s most definitely not. Simply, a starting place for thinking differently about it.
1.) THE POISON IVY, POISON OAK, or POISON SUMAC PLANT
2.) CLOTHING: Anything worn when intersecting the plant. So, WASH what YOU WEAR when you wash it off of YOU!!
- Long Sleeved Shirts (cuffs)
- Jackets
- Pants
- Outter-Wear (removed)
- Hats
3.) SHOES / BOOTS / FOOTWEAR
Shoes
Actually, the amount of time to get it off really depends on an individual's skin sensitivity. I didn't start feeling the tell-tale itch for about 4 hours after exposure.
I’m fine as long as I wash it off within roughly 4 hours 🤷♂️
Thanks for the tips. I have one for you. DO NOT use your kitchen sink to wash up. You could leave a residue behind of what ever you had on your skin. If you are using your kitchen sink for food prep there could be a chance of contaminating your food or dishes. You should be carful washing off things like Poisons, chemicals, and motor oil. I hope you through away that dish cloth after using it on your poison ivy.
If you're leaving an oily residue into your kitchen sink and it is staying in the sink.... Then i worry about your soap strength... Sure if you use just water then oil can stick around, but using FULL strength soap dissolves the oil and washes it down the drain. Of course if you're not thorough then sure there's a danger, but it is not that big of a deal.
Coveralls. gloves, & hat dedicated to working outside, or around poison ivy, even it it's hot. Don't take your gloves on & off, don't touch your face, especially your eyes. Everything you've handled, tools, steering wheels, lawn mowing equipment etc, could have the oil on them as well. Wash them with Dawn & water, when you're done, or only touch them with gloves on. Wash the coveralls & gloves separately from other clothes. Add a little dawn to the load. Shower as soon as you've stripped down, Start with the water as cool as you can stand. Scrub your entire body with a cloth & dawn soap first. Focus on skin that was exposed when outside. Then you can warm the water up & use your normal soaps & shampoo. If you keep getting rashes, without being around the ivy, something you touched, or transferred oil too, is getting on your skin again. The oil can last for years. The more OCD you are, the less you will itch.
Sounds very helpful
My sister developed blood-poisoning when she had poison ivy and scratched it. Nasty stuff! When I was younger I would get a series of 3 injections to prevent prevent getting it.
I used to get the three injections. Most dr said a single shot each year after would be effective however I am so allergic I had to have 3 shots each year and then still got poison ivy. I do not think the shots are available anymore. If anyone knows if the shots are available still please let me know.
I've had my first run in with poison ivy a few weeks ago after weed-eating a favorite fishing spot to get close to the waters edge. After I started to get a rash, my wife made up a paste of a little water and bentonite clay and spread it on the affected area and let dry completely , then wash off .
It seemed to work as an absorbent.
And rash only lasted for a little less than 3 days. Also helped with the itching.
thats a good all around weed killer!! most weed killers like roundup is 90% soap the soap sufforcates the plant
Taking an antihistamine also helps when you already have it, eg, Benadryl.
Scrub 3 times with warm water, wash cloth for friction and a degreasing soap/detergent when you have come in contact with it. Take clothes off and wash immediately in hot water and detergent, sometimes twice, then wash yourself 3 times, while clothes are washing. I HATE poison ivy!
Aloe can be a great help!
@ 1:43. Don’t think that’s poison ivy. Looks close though
Me either, the leaves should have notches on them.
Looks like a small hickory.
Between 20 minutes if for some reason your pores are open or something of that sort and 72 hours. Scrub your whole body as quickly as possible with some kind of pumice soap (even gojo like stuff if you have to), and really over wash making sure to get every crevice well, think I'd it like having motor oil between your fingers(friction is the key to avoiding the effects) so again some kind of scrubby soap and a wash rag or something just a tad more than just a hand!
Ps im super allergic, i get it at the very least once every month, but i love in the woods so that's damn good considering i get it just thinking about it lol
leaves of three let them be n if u don't want it to spread don't scratch just wash wherever it is n don't scratch!!
I swear that ivy is airborn lol, seems most of the time the dogs get it on them on walks and your petting them after, then you get again, I find bandaids work from spread so I have lots of band aids on after the cleaning stuff, and wash the clothes
You may want to try using some of the Family Dollar Brand of T-Gel shampoo. I also get it very badly and this shampoo has been a Godsend!!! Hubby even uses it to wash with to keep from transmitting it to me. We keep a stash of it to always have it on hand.
Soon as rain goes on gonna give it a try. Thanks. Stay safe.
Ps I used to get it bad I mean bad. Between fingers, legs , eyes when around 15-16 finally did what dad said for years eat a piece. I gave in told him do it he went got one shiny leaf of poison ivy and put in bread like little pill swallowed it and it works don’t get it hardly at all and if do it goes away quick next day or so. And it just few bumps blister looking ones. Thanks pops u save day only wish done it sooner. Hey sounds crazy but works. Thanks. If u do eat let me know how it works that’s how mine used to get not no more remember going through granny’s bleach on hands to get relief. Not no more. Think about a vaccine it’s the problem. Ur body fights it. So it makes sense. Stay safe
It also gets on your dog and you pet and play with your dog or your dog rubs along your clothes and you wipe your hands. I rub all over my boots and the laces a bar of Fels Naphtha soap. This is also what I was with cold water and then like warm water like 4-5 times. But dawn also works. You want the final wash with the soap to dry on your skin! And wash your clothes immediately.
At age 42 I just got my first poison ivy rash ever and it became very infected and swollen. And worse yet I keep getting reinfected from our stupid cats who keep walking through the vines.
If you get the rash , fill up a gallon of a empty milk gallon with ocean salt water, it’s the best thing ever
If you're gonna be a bear be a grizzly I would go straight for the Store-bought weed killer and spray that hell out of that area I can't stand Poison ivy
Actually, you CAN “spread it by scratching”, and you CAN give it to somebody else by rubbing them , OR by rubbing your wound on a bed sheet, and your partner then rubbing on the same spot. The oil will spread from both of these. Even after scrubbing really good, if you have a reaction/redness/blisters, you have the oil IN your skin, and it will come off onto other things and people.
Your body does not produce the oil. It is not some "supervirus" that reproduces and then comes out when you scratch it. yes You CAN spread it by scratching - if you haven't cleaned the oil off your skin and by scratching spread it further on your body. Otherwise if you've washed off , the oil that penetrated your skin will cause a rash area around that spot, but you cannot spread it to anybody else once you've washed the oil off your body. I understand your logic , because i used to think that too. But if you really think about it you will understand why it's not really that infectious.
@@GOLD_FEVER Re-read what I said, closely. If you get the rash, it means there is oil IN your skin, not just on it. Exactly as you also stated. If you scratch, you can and will break the skin, which can release that oil to the surface which can be spread to surrounding area (which is why the infection areas seem to grow). You can also get that oil on other stuff, like a bed sheet, and then get it on another part of your body or even somebody else. So yes, you CAN spread it, and you can get it on somebody else. I have done exactly that, more than once. I never said your “making more virus”. Your just spreading the oil. And if you have the rash, it is inside your skin, not just on it. So washing off the surface does NOT prevent you from spreading the oil that will come out of your skin when broken. I am unfortunately an “expert” on poison ivy. I was paid to remove it years ago, in one of the most extreme poison ivy infected areas (Fire Island, NY). We cut down p.ivy plants that had a base 12” round, and were 30’ tall.
@@Machria23 As trees? 12 inches around? That sounds crazy... i thought they only bushed.
@@GOLD_FEVER Well, they looked like tree's, but they are really vines. And yes they were (and still are) crazy. Worse than all this talk about the oil on your skin is, breathing it in while cutting these down with a chainsaw. Hospital visits, a multitude of steroid shots.... lots of FUN for $5 an hour work when I was in college. ;-)
@@Machria23 That's insane. You could have died from that! I will be going out to the mountains and have to rip out some poison oak vines because i need to access the dirt underneath them ( i prospect for gold and the deposit there is very rich).... Wish me luck!
The first plant you looked at was a baby hickory tree. The second WAS poison ivy
