I got a poison ivy rash all over my arms about 2 years ago when pulling weeds out of my backyard.

It not only stops the itching, but starts drying it up after the rash is started. The thing I have used to use to hasten poison ivy's drying & healing was ACV and epsom salts - but if you have the problem get a bottle of this stuff and try it. Of course that the alkaline oils from the plant can also be neutralized with vinegar to prevent the rash if you know you have been exposed to it. I have about 10 bottles stashed and check for more every time I pass a Dollar Tree. I find it also helps itching from other problems also. If you dig herbals you'll recognize the naturals of burcock root & calendulas in them. It can probably be found in places like Wild Oats or health food stores but it will probably be closer to $4 or $5 else where. They will find it in the hand lotion - shampoos area - the one I am praising is Vitamin E with Naturals gel (yellow gel) - it also comes in Aloe Vera with Naturals gel, which is green and probably will work the same. Maybe now would be a good time to suggest that readers who have a local Dollar Tree Store go and see if they can find a product put out by "Fruit of the Earth" - I have had my share of poison ivy/oak as far back as I can remember - have used a little bit of everything on it including bleach, alcohol, steroid cream, steroid shots - you name it & I've probably tried it to find it didn't work very well to hasten healing or allay the itching.
