Poison Ivy Rash

[WiredIncorrectly]

I just went through this myself. Got it weed wacking the yard. I'm on the tail end but it was on my legs, arms and body. A raised bumpy red splotchy rash that itched like all get out! As suggested, topical remedies like hydrocortisone, calamine lotion, Benadryl and one that really helped me was Aveeno anti-itch lotion. Its been three weeks and its pretty much gone but still annoying.

Thanks fishmanpa (there's 2 fishmans in this thread lol). I'm glad there's somebody who can relate even though its not very nice to experience. Bloody nasty stuff. I honestly thought the poison ivy thing was a bit of a wives tale.
