A member asked:
Is drying up poison ivy the main thing to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What?: If you are itching to do something because you are bored, this activity is for you. Don't even touch it. Don't forget to wash off anything which has touched the poison ivy with laundry detergent because the resin left behind will continue to be a problem for you.
