lol...good luck eh? well i did a little more looking again this time and found something called Zanfel. It seems to be the only thing out there that will get rid of it after youve got it and have broken out. I picked some up at Publx for $34 for this 1 ounce tube. They said at Publix that they sell a lot of it. I've put it on and already no itch (thats whe they say youve applied it properly) and that within the next day or two the rashes will be gone. I'ma lready seeing them because less harsh in the past 3-4 hours. So this stuff is worth the money . Ivarest works like benadryl. It merely stops the itch. It's just a sooting cream, and I'd still have this crap for 14-20 days using that.

btw. I was wearing long pants and a shirt when I was workign outside. I came in, washed off and then jumped in the pool. That's why I didn't break out as bad as last time. But you dont even need the soap. You just need water, cold or hot. It takes 10minutes for the urushiol oil to soak into your skin and bond. Sometimes it takes the oil 2 hours to do the same thing. I was outside working for about 2-3 hours. So if I was in contact with it halfway through working out there, then I didn't wash off soon enough. That's the problem. So I'm glad I found this Zanfel! ...and I'm so happy that poison ivy isn't spreadable from me after it's bonded, cuz not being able to be close to the gf would suck.

So if you ever get poison ivy, remeber Zanfel!! lol..sounds like an infomercial
