I get it real bad, I usually end up getting a shot at the Dr office. Oatmeal bath works but is messy. I like Cortisone cream, the pink kind works the best.

move the stand.

Go to the doctor, get a shot and a prescription of steroids.

We got that stuff pretty bad this year as well. Not to mention the tick invasion every time we go to our place.

+1 on the shot. Best way I have learned. Move the stand or remove it the vines. Round up.

There is a product called Ivy Off that works for me. Comes with a gel and a bar soap

you will need a shot, and remember, the next time you get it, it will get progressively worse. I suggest you move your stand to a nearby tree with no poison ivy on it or you will be miserable all fall.

Burn the tree down and forget the stand

I had never had poison ivy until a few years ago and never want it again ---- that stuff drove me nuts

If you can find someone that sells Young Living Oils get a bottle of Clara-Derm, it is the best I have used. The itching will stop right away.

I agree, if it's really bad the Steriod is the way to go.

I've had it twice from Brazo Bend State Park and use a product that I bought from Academy called "Proteck" for poison ivy, oak and sumac. I use it when I go there and haven't had it sense when used.

I did recently get a mild case while setting up a new ground blind (not using Protek). I've identified the culprets and am going out tomorrow to check camera's fill feeders and double dose the Round up.

Good luck and I feel your pain.

Be sure and wash the knife good when you are done. I set a stand, then3 days later I took the bowsaw and clippers out of the bed of my truck. Couple hours later I was breaking out where I hung the saw around my wrist. Next morning it was all over my arm. Don't scratch!!!!!!!

[Sippy]

looks like opening morning will be interesting!
