Please pray for me as well, I think I have poison ivy...
Haven't been to the dr, just using some hydrocortisone cream but sam says I should go, I have just been too busy! And now I think I am on the tail end of it, although as it keeps spreading I'm not sure!

Yeah, they said if you weed whack it, it sprays the oil all over you. Got to soak your clothing and wash the surface of your shoes, etc. Benadryl helps. Don't burn it either!
I just went out and pulled a few tiny plants out of the ground with a plastic bag, wrapped them up and threw it in the trash. I was careful, so hopefully I didn't expose myself to it again. I'm done with flower beds after this!

On parts of my property.. entire hills are covered with it.
I only wish I could pull it and trash it. Sadly.. it's just not possible in my case.

Hey,
If you do have poison ivy; go get "IVY-DRY" get the spray.
I can look at poison ivy and get it, this is the best stuff I have ever used, Wal-Mart, or Walgreens should have it.
I will pray for you, I know how you feel!!!!

If I get within 5 feet of the stuff, I get a very bad case. I avoid it.

Definitely on the other side of it now. It cleared up much faster than I expected, I believe it was all the prayer! Esp. since I had it on my face and that just isn't pretty.
