I have had poison ivy SEVEN times already! Just got it last week AGAIN. So I consider myself to be an expert now, by default. I found that if I drain the blisters (with a sterile needle)and dab them with rubbing alcohol VERY OFTEN (hourly if you can) they do not itch half as much and also don't seem to spread as readily. When they dry up, I break the skin again before applying the alcohol. It burns a little but it's so much better than the constant itch.
