Poison ivy: Please do not put off any regular medical care. It could have serious medical implications for your health! AS for the Poison Ivy, right after exposure, using rubbing alcohol can rapidly remove the urushiol oil from your skin so that the reaction is minimized. after that, use oral antihistamines, oatmeal plasters/bath, cold compresses, and bentonite clay mask to manage the itchiness and pain.
