There was an Idea submitted that suggested dabbing on Ever Clear grain alcohol on poison ivy lesions. I have never been sensitive to Poison Ivy until this spring. I went to the dermatologist wondering what was happening to my skin as the problem was spreading. Doc said, "Poison Ivy." I told her, Naaaaaw! I'm not allergic to it!" She caught it at the end of the ordeal and just prescribed a steroid to help with the itching and spreading. (Itching spreads it)
Well, I worked in the yard on Monday. And I know I had handled (carefully) Poison Ivy. At the end of the day, I thought I got a bug bite and lo and behold today I see the "tracks" of Poison Ivy and 4 more tiny blisters!! And of all places it is on my left cheek--the cheek on my face, that is!
I tried Ever Clear and immediately the itching is gone. It did blister, but with the second application, it went away. I will keep you up to date on how the Ever Clear works. My face is the last place I need Poison Ivy Dermatitis and the accompanying scars.
