That would be very cool, as I often find it somehow. But the real question is can they manufacture this for a lower cost than the anti-inch and drying remedies we currently have on the self.

No thank you. The antibodies would probably stop more than just the response to poison ivy and the blistering would happen no matter what. Vigilance, high pH soap, and brisk scrubbing usually take care of it.

Nope. Benadryl is all you need. Take it from someone who looks at Poison ivy and gets it. Ugh. Hate it when I get it but Benadryl takes the itch out and is safe. Unless you need it every day for months. lol


It also blocks histamine so it helps prevents more rash from coming out or eye swelling shut..


I usually need it for a few days and by the end the itch is going away or tolerable.


Calagel & Baby powder also help keep the skin dry.


And for pete sake stay out of the sun, heat and humidity when you have it!


Lastly... if there's one near you... The Ocean. (Salt water)
