For the first time in my life

I have poison ivy! This is a new kind of hell for me. I have never, ever had it before in my life. Now I understand why everyone whines about. Gawd. Pass me the calamine.

 It could be worse. I got poison ivy on my hands once, and didn't realize it. I went to the bathroom and the next day I woke up with a case of poison ivy in the most private of places. Talk about Hell

 If it's not open dab some apple cider vinegar on it. Jewel weed is great, if you can find some just shred it up and rub it on. If you can't find it you could try cucumber slices or the inside of banana peels. Hope it heals fast.

 I never got it until I was in my 20's. My father used kerosene on it, my ex wife used bleach

 Some really good advice here McYin, the only thing I would add is that if you apply some whisky, especially orally, you will be feeling no discomfort in short order!!

Nice blog by the way!

 Your probably over it now but, next time try Octagon soap. Works like a champ. If you work out in the yard and think you may have gotten into some, use it and you'll never get it.
