| Poison Ivy! UGH! First weekend at our new camp, and I am breaking out in poison ivy everywhere. Started on my middle finger yesterday, now it's on my ring finger, my palm and above my eyebrow on my face. I haven't had this in 20 years at least! But I remember being a kid and having it SO bad that my parents took me to the ER every time! I guess I see a trip to Urgent care in my future tonight after work if I can hold out that long!

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. When I go camping I always carry Tecnu and Calagel. They are amazing. Tecnu really takes the oil off. This is what the forestry uses. Tecnu for Poison Oak Rash & Poison Ivy Rash Rash & Itch Relief - Calagel I hope you feel better soon
