Good luck..

I got poison ivy one year when berry picking and did not think I'de everget rid of it. I tried several things but what worked for me was washing with epson salts and water. Dried it right up. Hope you find a quick cure. This is simple and inexpensive.Jan

Thanks for all the suggestions! I really hope this poison goes away soon. Taking along some quilting on vacation, and it actually hurts to close my hands, so I'm worried I may not be able to hand quilt. The Domboro is doing a decent job of drying it up. I sure hope it works fast!

Phels Nappa soap. It's a large bar of orangie/gold soap in the detergent isle. should be near the clothes detergent. It works so well...even if it's infected. My daughter just has to breath it, and she'll have it all over her.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
