We've purchased special soaps before before, and it always took care of the problem. I wonder about tea tree oil...but that might sting like hell.Jeannie and Eldyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664198861231288915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-9142756592958267682015-08-20T22:19:46.040-04:002015-08-20T22:19:46.040-04:00That poison ivy looks rough!

It usually takes right up until the last day to finally clear it up! Have you ever tried TechNu poison ivy wash? Nicolas got it once in Florida when we were volunteering at Lovers Key, and the rangers gave us some packets of TechNu wash. If you use it right away, the rash will go directly to the red splotchy phase, completely skipping the oozing and blistering stage. Hopefully Al feels better soon!Tom and Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805164497862128975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-80885802204493536942015-08-20T16:55:32.848-04:002015-08-20T16:55:32.848-04:00I am very allergic to poison ivy also.

The prednisone should help and there is a cream that would help too but I can't think of it right now. fastalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826337988006066321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-38187576279533400242015-08-20T12:46:49.353-04:002015-08-20T12:46:49.353-04:00Wow, that looks really awful, how can he stand it?...Wow, that looks really awful, how can he stand it? When I think of how a tiny mosquito bite itches, I can't imagine how Al's feeling. Any thoughts of moving to a place where there is no Poison Ivy? Having a bout of it like that every year would be enough to make me move to another part of the country. I hope it clears up soon. <br /><br />Good luck with the boat - hope all is well. And I want a photo of the PIE. Those peaches look soooo good! :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-38113620357325108592015-08-20T11:52:26.320-04:002015-08-20T11:52:26.320-04:00I feel so sorry for Al.
