From what I remember - it's about 2 - 3 miserable weeks - which feel more like months!!!
If you can get some Jewel Weed (commonly grows in same areas poison ivy grows - Mother Nature's sense of humor ~ I suppose) break the stems and rub the juic on, will help calm the itch. Nothing speeds up the process that I know of tho, I tolerate the days best I can, and sleep only on high doses of benadryl. |
