Take and antihistimine like Benedryl to releive some of the symptoms and I find Caladryl clear lotion soothes that itch a bit.
Do you have a dog or maybe petted one? Sometimes people get poison ivy from that after a dog has brushed through poison ivy: the oil remains on their fur and transfers to you. I've gotten it that way before.
I started taking the benedryl yesterday. It helps. I've never used caladryl but will look into it when I go get the prescription my doc phoned in a little bit ago.
Yep, I have an indoor/outdoor cat who I hope, hope, hope is not responsible for passing the oils to me.
