Help A Brother out!

A few month ago the subject of Poison Ivy came up and someone was talking about a "Home Remedy" something to do with vinegar.
Neddless to say ,,I am pretty fair skinned,,Native American Blood,,,I can not grow A beard to save my life and I have almost no body hair.Poison Ivy eats me up and I got into some the other day while hunting
HEEEELP!!!!!/c

TEC-NU saved me from several Bad poison oak run-ins in my Mountain Bike days..Found it at a local pharmacy. It's not as effective after the fact..but it was the best I found and I was desperate enough to try anything.

Poison Ivy Remedy for Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac : Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Rash Treatment


Be sure and wash your clothes and shoes in their wash too..the oils can be active for some time.

Trask is Right TECH-NU is Great... before or after exposure.. better to protect before hand, but if you get Poison Oak/Ivy/Sumac anyway.. the after treatment works faster then Calamine lotion.. and will dry out the Oils faster as well.....
I've used Tech-Nu for 20 years , great Stuff....

I am lucky, not allergic to poison ivy or oak. Its a good thing too because it grows around here every where you look, and I am out in it all the time. Sitting on it when Turkey hunting, and deer hunting also. Its always climbing up the trees and into my stands
I have heard that Thec-nu is a great product. Hope your all healed up soon! Joyce
