I am a suffer of poison ivy too. I once got it in the winter it was snowing out and every thing. I break out bad and im only 15 but i think there is a thing called sumactin that you can use and it can eventually stop out breaks or something. It is $40 for a 4oz. bottle but it is gauranteed and has a 90 day money back guarantee. I think you should chech it out. I will!
