Ouch!
More a landscaping than gardening heads-up, but I was doing some heavy pruning with a chainsaw on fruit trees earlier this week and while I was at it decided to take out some old hedges—and got into some poison ivy.
The urushiol doesn’t show up on skin until about 12 hours later, and I had to, uh, relieve myself and now I feel like a leper ... don’t worry, no pictures.
It’s been many years since `an ocean of calamine lotion,’ no fun.
Picked up some herbicide today. Watch out for poison ivy and oak, stay safe.
Try washing with liquid dish soap. Then, if you have jewelweed growing nearby, blend up some leaves and stems with enough water to make a slurry, and smear that on the rash.
I got into some poison ivy weekend before last while deadwooding my orchard trees. It wasn’t leafed out yet and I wasn’t paying enough attention. I splattered sap all over both arms and both legs. Not good, but not quite as bad as your situation. That gives me the willies just thinking about it.
