Poison Ivy Cure


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

So I am dealing with my 3rd round of poison ivy this summer but this time it is on my neck (Don't ask). So I read online that washing it with paint thinner or mineral spirits will help kill the oil that causes the inflammation. So I go to the garage and oh look.....there is some paint thinner and mineral spirits. So I am about to go wash my neck with some of this stuff but it warns to wear gloves while using the product. Seems I would usually follow such instructions but it all seems pointless when I am about to rub the stuff into my jugular vein.

So I ask you fine people of the Huddle....good idea, bad idea, or quite possibly the best idea around here in awhile and it will help thin out the huddle herd?

Great idea! :eek:

See a doc and get some corticosteroids...seriously! the home remedies are worthless...

I'd stay away from the paint thinner. They use it to clean with at the car lot, and Chris sat in a seat that was still wet. A few minutes later, he was running to the bathroom dropping his pants in front of everyone on the way trying to cool his ass off. It lit his ass up! lol

First off, you cant "kill" oil.

Secondly, the mineral spirits can cause some major burns, so I would not mess with that.

Best home remedy you can do is, wipe it down with alcohol wipes, and put calamine lotion on it...otherwise you can get a shot from a doctor.

Just watching out for your neck!

bad idea. I am very allergic to poison/oak/sumac. I don't even have to touch it. I can walk in the vicinity of it and on a still day be covered. I have never found anything to stop the the itching or the spread. Nothing!

This helps a little, but nothing works.

You can even wash your clothes with this stuff.

I am allergic to it as well. People told me to pour bleach of it! (Don't think so!) I found the best stuff to dry it up was spraying it with "Final Net" hair spray. Burns, but it dries up the oil! (Loaded with alcohol.)

Steriod shots from the skin doctor (dematologist) help as well. (My Doctor's name is Charles Brown! What kind of parents would name their son Charlie Brown? The first time I went to him, I told him if he had a nurse named Lucy, I was out of there. LOL Like he hadn't heard that a million times!)

Over the counter stuff that works good.

Zanfel

Tecnu (JANGLER'S FAVORITE)

Rhuli

Ivarest (My personal favorite)

Home remdies (These will burn!)

White Vinegar (pour it over the infected area)

Rubbing Alcohol (which is why Spray net worked.)

Lacquer Thinner (Here you go!)

Bleach (It will dry out anything!)

Purell Hand Sanitizer (High in rubbing alcohol)

Calamine is the best solution I have heard. But so is avoidence!

Doesn't work for me. It seems to make it last longer, because it doesn't let air in to dry it up. That's why I use the Tecnu.

And yes I learned along time ago how to identify it to stay away. The house I'm in now had a patch growing on the back fence when I first moved in 9 years ago, I nuked the area, to this day nothing will grow there.

damn, that picture got me itching...

Kenny - you're in the Concord area. I cannot praise this woman enough - Debra at Genesis Herb Garden. She can tell you what will fix you quickly. I'd battled a nasty skin and thyroid disease for a couple of years to no avail and she gave me some stuff that's really working.

I recall her shop having something for Poison Ivy.

Tell her I sent you. (Wait, maybe that's a bad idea because I want her to continue seeing me...). Cyberjag and Guigrrl can attest to how good she is.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
