I've just recently found out that i have been exposed to Poison Ivy and sumac. I've never had it before and i am miserable. How long does it take to get rid of it? My doctor called in medication and i've got calamine lotion. The rash is driving me nuts!!!!!
Also, until all this i never even knew what the plants looked like. I just found out yesterday what they looked like. Come to find out I've got tons of Poison Ivy in my yard and Poison sumac vines climbing thru the trees. How do I get rid of it to prevent future break outs?? It difficult to even do yard work there's so much of it. And its too HOT outside to mow and do yard work in long pant/sleeves!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
