Paula...So you've been in the weeds and now have poison ivy. I haven't had that since I was a kid, I guess I became immune to it...or I learned to stay out of the weeds. I still have nightmares, of my mom running after me to plaster me with calamine lotion...God I hated that stuff, and I spent every single summer covered with that pink paste.
Laying out in the sun...or taking a hot bath/shower IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! Try the Ivy Itch stuff (cheaper) but the Zanfel (expensive) is suppose to work great. Or just wait until tomorrow and ask the doctor you work for to cure you!!!
Benedryl at bedtime...will help you sleep and take away the itch.
Wish you well...NOW STAY OUT OF THE WEEDS!!!
