I use to get poison ivy just walking by it when it was hot and humid and the oils vaporize in the air. I then read about 'rhus tox 30x' and took 4 pills under the tongue several times a day starting in the spring until the snow was too deep to work outside. Also when I knew I got into it I would wash with some kind of grease cutter for 2 minutes.
I only had a few bumps for at least a decade...Until a couple weeks ago.. I had forgotten to take the rhus tox for a couple of weeks and didn't pay attention when I took a stray possum across the creek ( should of just shot him instead of harassing him, but he wasn't in the poultry yard}
This out break I started taking the rhus tox and washed everything I had worn or touched since the possum in grease cutter. Alternated with 'tecnu' https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/t...d6162728-product?ext=gooKBM_PLA_-_Health_Care
and super ivydry https://www.amazon.com/Super-Size-Itch-Relieving-Spray/dp/B001V9QW2E
Nowhere as bad of an outbreak compared to years past.
