[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 539119, member: 84"] UGH! I have never in my life been allergic to poison ivy. Used to be, I could roll in the stuff without so much as a itch. Since the backyard was overgrown, poison ivy has moved in. Last week it was my legs from pulling it........not all over just a couple of spots that nearly drove me nuts. After mowing last time and helping Nichole pull weeds by Rowdy's kennel.......I've got it on my arms....around my wrists and in the crease of my right elbow. I swear to all that is holy it's worse than the legs....especially the elbow spot because you've no idea how much you bend your elbow until it itches like mad. Then again.......with all the endless other weeds out there......one of them could be the culprit too I suppose. I've only got around the shed to get now, thank god, and I think I'll be doing that in gloves, long sleeves and frigging jeans! Calamine lotion is not doing a thing for it. It doesn't seem to be drying it out or heaven forbid, get rid of this non stop itching. It's spread a tad to the forearms but not much as 90 percent of the time I can resist the urge to scratch it......it doesn't mean it's not driving me insane. Sleeping is the worst. Probably because there is nothing to distract me. I know poison ivy is a vine type plant. So......now that the yard is mowed when I go hunt it down to kill it off, any ideas on the best thing to use? I want it [B]dead[/B]. DEAD. I can't be fighting a poison ivy rash every time I work in the yard this summer. ugh [/QUOTE]
