As stupid as this may sound, I think I may have "conquered" poison ivy. I've gotten a really bad case of it lately, and I've got a massive amount between my fingers. I've been sick of waiting it out, so about 10 min ago, I decided to rid of it once and for all.
First I took a paper clip, bent it so it was a long line. I used one side to slowly pierce the biggest blister thingys. I made sure I got all the oil out, washed my hands with burning hot water, and the paper clip. I did that to all of the biggest blisters. Then, I went downstairs, and put a Sh*tload of salt on it, and let it stay there for about 1 min. It was burning like hell, seriously. Then, I washed my hands again with hot water, went up stairs and washed my hands with hop soapy water, and the paper clip. Then I applied some Iverest (some cream to help stop the itching and it supposedly slowly kills it). Now I will just wait and see if it is better by tommorow. If it is, I'll do that onto the other major parts where the case is really bad, I.E. my arms and my feet. Right now its really shriveled, so I think its a good sign... |

That will not work. What does work are corticosteroids, injections or pills; or, time, waiting for it to go away.

Ah nothing like home surgery. I once got out some glass out of my finger with a needle and a scalpel. Anaesthesia...bah who needs it.

YES!!! It has succesfully worked. Though the process is extremely painful, I can finally rid myself of that blasted irritiation. Home surgery, gotta love it.

You wanna watch yourself, Secretmaster - what you're doing is an open invitation for infection. Those blisters are there to cover the damaged skin underneath which isn't ready to defend itself against bacteria - like those found on the end of a straightened-out paperclip. I'd seek more conventional methods of treating this if I were you, but hey, if this works and you're happy, who am I? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I agree that this is dangerous, you really shoulod have found something a little less likely to hold bacteria, like a sewing needle or something, and heated it up with fire till it was glowing bright red, then used it to sear of the infection
