[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 697226, member: 1233"] Info you might need from the Zanfel website about systemic poisoning by poison ivy": [B]Q: How do I know if I'm having a systemic reaction?[/B] [B]A:[/B] Your doctor will look for the following symptoms: [LIST] [*]The rash appears in new areas after day 4. [*]There are breakouts on more than 15% of your body. (30% most certainly indicates a systemic reaction) [*]Your joints are swelling. [/LIST] Your doctor may determine that your reaction is systemic and may prescribe steroid injections and/or pills. Steroids halt the systemic reaction but typically have little effect on topical reactions. If you treat the topical reaction with Zanfel and the systemic reaction with steroids, you will usually experience complete and permanent relief. Steroids and Zanfel make a great team! Important: If your reaction is systemic and you treat it only with Zanfel, Zanfel IS working if your itch and pain go away. However, new oil will continue to resurface, and the rewashing cycle may go on for weeks. In severe cases, permanent scarring may result. It is important that you see your doctor to halt further breakouts. [/QUOTE]
