Maybe its not poison ivy but a strange reaction to excessive exposure to 5.10 moss eh? Well I'm treating it with my own age-old remedy: consumption of malted alcohol beverages and inhaltation of canabis sativa. Works everytime yo. ithink it was acombo of the 510moss..dirt...ticks and bloody airy falls outa kittylittered invested cracks of might and an unfortunate encounter on the slippery firecharred sandy hills...aghhhh..

Alex Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Its super important that when you wash head to toe after being exposed, you DONT use hot/warm water. Close your pores with cold water, otherwise you'll be very unhappy. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 well after wensday nights soccer games....the ivy is pretty much handled..... the friction from my socks and shinguards did an excellent job of ripping the blisters off....they are dried and just scabbing up!!! thanks for all the advice, but i think specials worked the best!!!! i used no treatment other then lancing the blisters and draining them.......
