This is a great site for information and pictures! Thanks for the gallery of pictures and people sending in pictures and asking questions. I learned how bad poison ivy can get when I had a horrible breakout a month ago. Zanfel worked well and helped me get a good nights sleep. I also got a prescription of prednisone to help. People can also get a systemic reaction if the oil enters a cut. This is what happened in my case. If after 4 days you are still breaking out and not exposing yourself to it again, you have a systemic reaction. I knew I was not re-exposing myself because I was on vacation and the rash spread and got worse. I also was in Canada and had to go across the border so my health insurance would cover the medicine. Thanks- Sharon Swink Clemmons, nc
