Ok, so what I thought were just a few innocent and extremely itchy bugbites, turn out to be poison ivy. I figured it out for myself when the bites kept multiplying, and turned into clumps of itchiness. So then I asked my dad if I was right and if it looked like poison to him, and he said yea and to scratch it open when I got home and put bleach on it. I couldn't right away, because I had to go to work and I didn't feel like smelling like bleach all day. So about 20 minutes ago I decided to scratch it open (and wow did that feel good) and then put bleach on a rag and dab it on. So I did, and it hurt but felt good at the same time. And now it just feels irritated, and kind of itchy. I think the poison is mad that I'm killing it and is trying to extract its revenge. Well too bad poison! You're going to dry up like a frog in an empty kiddie pool in 90degree sunshine! (true, sad, story from my childhood)
I'll let you know who wins this battle.

Actual bleach?? Didn't that hurt like a bitch!? Or by bleach do you mean rubbing alchol or something along those lines?
I absolutely hate being itchy. Mosquitos love me and I have to go to great lengths to avoid being bitten in the summer. I think I would go insane if I got poison ivey :S Hopefully it goes away soon for you!

Yup, actual bleach. Just pour it on a rag, scratch open the ivy, and then rub the rag on it. It hurts pretty bad sometimes, but after the initial screaming and running around waving your arm like an idiot, it's over and it feels fine. lol.
haha you're a braver girl than I! ;)
