Treatment for Poison Ivy

So what's the best treatment for poison ivy rash? I am horribly allergic to poison ivy. I itch. I scratch. The stuff just drives me crazy when it gets out of control. But in the last few years, I've found the best way to control poison ivy is to prevent it before the rash gets a hold on you. Now I've found that I can rip the ivy vines out of the ground with my bare hands and still prevent the poisonous rash from breaking out. Treating poison ivy for me just consists of washing thoroughly, applying rubbing alcohol and then applying calamine lotion to where I may have been exposed. I haven't had to scratch once from poison ivy in the last few years by using this method. I realize there are many other old time remedies for treatment of poison ivy rash, but this one works perfect for me. Try it next time and see if it works for you!
