vuduchile 1,940 Posted April 28, 2017 Focking sucks. I spent an afternoon removing an old fence and a stupid grapevine from my yard. A fellow hoops coach brought his 8th grade travel squad to help. Me, my wife, my youngest son and half the team ended up with varying degrees of reaction. Both my arms, my neck, a spot on my chest and my shaft are blistered, burning, itching and oozing. Prednisone is helping but keeping me awake all night. Never even saw the stuff. I'm sure it was all tangled in with the grapevines, but I guess it's not leafed out yet.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 28, 2017 I'm totally immune to Poison Ivy, Poison Oak - you name it... We had a field behind my house growing up, its where I spent my childhood.. I guess I was in it so much I developed an immunity to them.. People don't believe me - so I'll rub it over my legs and arms when we come across it on a golf course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As someone whose highly allergic to all of those, I believe your immunity qualifies as a Super power. I don't mess around anymore. If I work near it, I have primary care physician call in a Z pac (steroid pack). When I know I've got to pull some of it out, I use rubber gloves under cloth ones, with long sleeve shirt taped to cloth gloves and pants. When I'm done, the gloves and shirt get tossed right into trash. The oil can last for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted April 28, 2017 Well when you don't play outside enough as a kid you don't know what it looks like. So I'm pretty sure that fence and "grapevine" were cover in it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted April 28, 2017 As a kid I was immune to all that stuff. 7 years ago or so my GF and I decided banging in the woods was a good idea. When we got home we found that we had poison oak all down the legs, butt etc. I was no longer immune and boy was it awful. 3 days at least of the worst itching. One major plus was that taking a hot shower and blasting scalding water on the itch was about the most pleasurable experience ever. I have even fantasizes about infecting myself just so I could do it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 993 Posted April 29, 2017 Rub some bleach on it. Burns like a mother. Dries up in a day. Sounds like an absurd thing. I had it so bad I though I was gonna die. Mostly on my legs. I poured bleach on the spot. Quickly rinsed it off. Screamed loud. And it was done the next day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried all sorts of calamine lotion, Internet tricks etc but I wish I had heard about that. Same with Vinegar who a guy says works even better than bleach. Now I want to get infected to feel the sweet burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't do it with full strength stuff. Use like 1/2 cup bleach in a bathtub full of water. But I'd stick with standard treatments, like washing with soap and warm water to get rid of the plant's oils, then apply a topical steroid cream a couple times a day +/- calamine or systemic antihistamine for the itching. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody has time for that cookie cutter response. Hmm soap and water with Calamine, how revolutionary. We want it burned off now dammit! Waiting days sucks. I'd go straight bleach, diluting is for puzzies. But the guy says he tried bleach and vinegar neutralizes the oils better so I'd go for that first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
