Poison Ivy Cure

Gone with a shot that I never forgot

Dealing with poison ivy, or poison oak can put a serious damper on your week.

These itchy afflictions can drive you insane, so is there a good and effective poison ivy cure ?

What do you dab on the mess, or mass of bumps and blisters ?

Be very careful how you apply any treatment as you could spread it to even more areas of your body.

Poison ivy is contagious, so the minute you start scratching the itch and then rub your face, we have given it somewhere else to infect.

Better seek out those poison ivy cures for fast effective relief.

Can you remember as a kid you played outside without a care in the world ?

You ran though bushes and weeds that looked innocent enough to you. We have all done it and lived to tell the tale of our own encounter with poison ivy.

I hated the stuff, it always started on my legs, which was to be expected since those are closest to the ground.

My mother would sit me in a bath of oatmeal followed by a dousing of Caladryl ( Calamine ) lotion to cool and sooth the irritation.

It was a poison ivy cure or remedy of sorts, because it caused the horrific itching to subside. I always remember that pink stuff, I expect you do to.

This is probably the most used poison ivy cure of all time. Who hasn't been painted with pink stuff at one time or another?

When you're a kid having pink spots is kind of cool and better than scratching all day. However, when you're 30 and wearing a suit, it's not so cool, so it's a good job they have clear lotion these days.

A Shot in the Arm

One poison ivy cure that's not so commonly used is a shot of cortisone. If you're looking for a quick and efficient poison ivy cure, this stuff will do the trick!

The next time you're in search of an effective poison ivy cure, ask your physician about getting a shot of cortisone.
