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?

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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
