How do you like those scars? Yes, those are the scars, not the sores, from my first reaction to poison ivy. While transplanting my daylilies this spring, I apparently bathed in the nasty stuff. Here is my list of items to have on hand should you ever encounter it yourself:
- Tecnu - for removing the oil
- Ivy-Dry - for relieving the stinging (This stuff is AMAZING! Keep in the fridge for even more relief.)
- Oatmeal bath - for a little more relief
- Benadryl - to get a little sleep instead of itching all night
- Prednisone - when all else fails
Here's a great
link to help you spot the evil plant my daughter has labeled "the Devil's toilet paper."
