"Leaves of 3 - don't touch me" ?? I'm not sure, large poison ivy vines? Sorry ya got some on ya.
Alrighty then, kill - die- make it suffer, whatever it is. You've learned you don't wanna handle it anymore
Have a flame thrower or laser/phaser/ ray-of-the-day gun? No? Geebers....will just have to do it the old fashioned way. Spot spray with one of those good kill-all herbicides like Roundup ect...
Spray on leaves and follow stem to ground, soaking ground good at that point. Point out all plants to family and have them stay away while killer is working and to BOLO for more plants coming back later.
good luck. the doctor has a good shot these days for poison ivy

this sucks....itching...scratching
I want to know the best cure for me, I can kill a plant!!!
This stuff is all over my right arm, on the back of my ear, is there something I could bathe in.
I'm sure there is something natural that would counteract it.
Where is Nicodemus??

Calimine(sp) Lotion.
It you are a tough guy. Make a salt paste or use bleach. It will make it dry up faster.
Use a q-tip do not take a bath in it.

Go to walmart and pick up some "Ivy wash" Not sure if thats the name of the product but thats what I call it. It will be in a white bottle with some green on it. Rub down good with that stuff then shower and that should clear it up.

Tecnu, lots of it and scrub vigorously, several times a day. The bleach will simply irritate your skin further.

The Cure
Im not saying that this is safe, but has always worked for me and my family??
Scratch, Scratch, and Scratch again the area where the poison got on you (your arm, behind the ear). Once you have scratched the area enough that it is somewhat open, or the little bubbles have burst, are you ready for this, spray starting fluid on the area (Either). Do this once or twice, and that stuff will dry right up, usually within a day or two.
Like I said this may not be healthy, but it does work!! Imagine the look on my mothers face when she came out the door one day to find me getting this sprayed on an area on my FACE??? Not to good. But it worked.

here's the plan
I already did the bleach, just blotted with it, it actually felt pretty good except on the areas that I had scratched raw
I have Ivarest, maybe that was part of my problem. Don't have tecnu
I'm bout to wash it off(that stuff burns on your jewels by the way)
Then I'm putting on calamine and going fishing in the hot sun.
I'll post results...if I'm not in the ER

Put calamine lotion on first and put hydrocortisone over the top of the calamine.
Thankfully I am not allergic to poison ivy.

I am highly prone to outbreaks from oak/ivy.
The only stuff that works on me, and is dad-gum-good- stuff, is IVY DRY. Dark brown bottle. Stinks like sulfer, but within two days max......I no longer itch and rash is dried up. They now carry it in a spray bottle. Piggly Wiggly(used to be Bi-Lo) carries it here.

Tecnu is what I use, with good results. If you`re wrapped up in it though, I would go to the doctor, and have him give one of those shots that dry it up right quick. You sure don`t want that stuff in your eyes.
I`ve gotten rid of the vine before, by snippin` it it off a few inches above the ground, and pourin` some pure undiluted Roundup on the cut stub. Use an old pair of gloves to handle the vine, while you`re disposin` of it.
