Poison Ivy got ya

Rub the infected area or areas with Burning Nettle. The Nettle counteracts the Ivy. This does not work in reverse.

I hate poison Ivy put I think I'll take the ivy over the stinging nettle.

Dont think I've ever seen and nettle around here in Nova Scotia, lots of poison ivy though

Don't think i have seen the Nettle either. Poison ivy on the other hand is all over the place. When I get in it I'll get it real bad. I don't mind getting a little on my hands and arms in the spring it will get your immune system built up so you don't get it real bad later on. I managed to get poison ivy one time in the middle of winter while out cutting wood. My wife and son never seem to get it, some people just don't.

Luckily, I'm not allergic to poison ivy. At least I've never been effected by it in 47 years. I've gotten into stinging nettles alot especially when canoeing or summer scouting trips along streams and creeks. They hurt like hell but the pain and imfamation are short in duration.

if u get poison ivy u can rub elmers glue on it let dry an try to leave it on as long as possible if it rubs off put some more on it what it does is it suffocates it by cutting off the oxygen an it clears up in just a couple days an also relieves the itching
