I was mowing a few weeks ago and got splattered by a poison ivy vine. I did not think any thing about it. I've been in contact with it before and never got a rash. So when I got done I just put my clothes in the washer like always and jumped in the shower. Well I put the shirt on that I was wearing that day on again a few days ago and shortly there after I got a rash on my chest. I know its poison ivy and I've not been near any poison ivy since that day I was mowing. So could it still be on that shirt because i did not soak it before washing it?
How long can poison ivy stay on your clothes after you wash them or can it ?
I would soak shirt with liquid that dilutes poison ivy sap ,research with what I'm not sure, I thought washing in good quality wash powder should have done it..♥
Reply:Poison ivy has an oily substance to it. You need to cut the oil with Dawn soap or similar.
Reply:it probably soak through your cloths and infected you. plus it can stay on your cloths for up to a year
Reply:Poison Ivy contains urushiol which is the oil substance that creates a reaction on your skin. Washing with normal detergent will remove the uroshiol.
Odds are it's spreading because the infected area still had urushiol on it and it was spread from scratching or other means. If it was on your hands before you knew you got it, then it may have gotten on your chest when you removed your shirt with your contaminated hands. Or it was on the outside of your shirt and when you removed your shirt the outside of it rubbed your chest. Skin that is typically covered with clothing most of the day is more sensitive to irritants which may be why your chest has a rash but your hands are fine.

Which colleges are considered Ivy League, and which schools are considered Ivy Clones?
Well I know the list of Ivy league colleges, everyone does, but what about the schools that are considered Ivy League clones, I hear about them a lot, but I don't understand how they are similar or where they are located...
Which colleges are considered Ivy League, and which schools are considered Ivy Clones?
I've never heard the term ivy clones used anywhere because that would mean that are the same - and no two schools are the same.
There are other good schools such as those already mentioned (Rice, UTAustin, UMich Ann Arbor, UCBerkeley, CooperUnion, Caltech, MIT etc.) Also keep in mind the liberal arts colleges like Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, Bowdoin, and Williams.
Ivy League is the name for a football league comprised of 8 of the oldest schools in the U.S. If your are choosing a college based on status alone you will likely be unhappy there.
Reply:Ivy League: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale
Ivy-esque: Stanford, Rice, Virginia, California (Berkley), MIT, McGill (Canada), Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan, Georgetown, Vanderbilt
Ivy Clone: isn't that a Batman Villain?
Reply:What they are referring to are schools which have the academic reputation and breadth of an Ivy League school, but which are not in the actual athletic league, such as Stanford, Rice, Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley, University of Michigan, etc. Schools like Berkeley and Michigan are sometimes also referred to as "public ivies".

Poison Ivy prevention HELP!?
No matter what I do I always get posion ivy during the summer. I don't go near it or touch it but I still get it. My doctor told me that If I pass by a posion ivy leaf and its in the air I may get it. Also I have 2 dogs so if they rub against it then I pet them I may get it. I use the Teknu cleanser when I see a small rash on me or if I know I came into contact with it to get the posion oil off my body. I still get it though. Does anyone know of any thing I can do to prevent from even getting it? Is there a medication I can take durinf the summer or rememdies??? Help I'm so sick of getting it numerous times every damn summer!

Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa?
Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa in Corona, California (or another glen ivy location)
Does anyone know anything about this place? Prices per person for a day?
The website appears to behaving issues so I can't look it up.
If you've been there please tell me the general price range andwhat kinds of things they offer.
Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa?
It's totally amazing! (Corona Location)
$ 35 M - F and $48 on weekends. They offer nearly any other service you would be interested in - massage, facials, nails, etc. Be sure to schedule appts before you go - they book up fast. Red mud (clears pores) is included with admission.
The Grotto -
Take an elevator down to the underground world of The Grotto. This mysterious, intriguing cavern is filled with a natural mineral water mist and the scent of sea kelp and aloe vera. You wear only a swim suit so your entire body can be “painted” with a rich green body moisturizer (the source of the sea kelp and aloe vera scent). Then move into the Hydrating Chamber so the rich moisturizer can work its magic. After you feel calm, cool and moisturized, simply shower off the body masque. To top it all off, enter the cool mist chamber for a cup of Glen Ivy tea and a crisp green apple. Like Club Mud, there is something fun and youthful about it all. And, there is also the more serious business of moisturizing and refreshing. The Grotto requires a separate admissions fee. You must arrive at least one hour prior to closing, and no appointment is necessary. However, daily capacity is limited in order to retain a semi-private feel in the cavern so a daily waiting list may be used. Simply ask about The Grotto upon your arrival at Glen Ivy.
The Grotto at Corona Hot Springs ~ $25 (not including required admission fee)
They have a cafe with a good variety of food.
Café Solé
If you’re going to take the time to pamper yourself, don’t forget about what you put inside of your body. At Café Solé you’ll find food that is healthful, nourishing, and delicious. We call it our Mediterranean Cuisine of the Sun. We select ingredients from local farmers, ranchers and markets to ensure freshness while supporting sustainable practices. So go ahead, live a little. Treat yourself to one of our local favorites. Because at Glen Ivy, you’ll find food for the body as well as nourishment for the soul.
Their staff is great and there are men and women of every age, shape and size. Definitely not a "snooty" spa. Great for a group, by yourself or just for two. Cabanas can be rented for provate, dedicated seating. It tends to get extremely busy on the weekends - weekdays are much better if you can swing it.
I go every chance I get. Enjoy!
Be sure to ask about current specials, frequent customer cards, and B-day admissions

Poison ivy!! help me!!!?
Benadryl, tylenol, and not touching the poison ivy spots.
Reply:You can try taking benadryl for the itch and use calamine lotion also for the itch but it also dries up the patches. If it is all over his body and it's unbearable and out of control go see your MD and he/she is able to give him an oral medication (steriod) and/or an injection. Good luck to you and your dad!!!
Reply:you need to go to your doctor and they will prescribe steroids for you to take they start you at a high dose then you taper down it will help you out so much I had it so bad a few years ago and went to my doctor and got steroids and thank god for them in two days I was so much better.
Good luck I know how your dad feels
Reply:Look for a product called "Ivyrest" or "Zanfel". I've had great results with Ivyrest, and hear good things about Zanfel. Ivyrest has a topical anesthetic that numbs the skin a bit and helps relieve the itching.
Reply:go to thee doctorssss.

Poison Ivy?
just curious...whats the best thing to kill poinson ivy? im very allergic to it and have to go to the hospital if i get it...i love to garden and have a wonderful green thumb...but im afraid to garden for the fear of poison ivy?
Poison Ivy?
Since you are highly allergic to it, I would hire someone to come and identify it then remove it. It's not worth it. I'm on the west coast with poison oak, and an old friend of mine would practically walk by it and then later in the day break out. If you have it removed make sure to discard the plant as the oils in the plant that make us itch can stay around for years, even if the plant is dead. Best of luck and happy gardening =0)
Reply:Roundup works relatively well for poison ivy, although it depends on when you spray it. Poison ivy is by nature a woody plant, so if it has matured to that point when you apply the herbicide you would be doing better to apply something that is labeled for woody plants (such as Remedy). If the poison ivy is just a succulent growing on the ground, you can probably get away with roundup, but always remember that roundup is a non-selective herbicide, which means it will kill anything in your garden if you aren't super careful with your application. Good luck!
Reply:Home Depot has some herbicides that are made for this task. It's very hardy and can survive most herbicides. Round-up would probably also work.
Reply:Not easy to get rid of.
You should know how to identify poison ivy. There are other plants that look like it and are harmless.

Poison Ivy!?
I found out that someone who was in my class has Poison Ivy! She said she's tried to get rid of it but nothing worked. I think she's going to stay home for a week or so and come back to my class. As soon as I got home I started washing my hands in case it was on me. How long should I wash my hands as soon as I get home from school, (How long will the Poison Ivy linger in that class, the average time)? How else can I prevent it??
Poison Ivy!?
I'm very allergic to poison ivy myself! Wash areas you think came in contact with the plant, or someone's rash with dish soap! Normal hand soap won't do the trick because it's oil from the plant that causes the rash... the dish soap breaks down oil such as grease and even poison ivy!.. Once should take care of it.. no need to dry out your skin... Tell your classmate that if it doesn't get better or starts to ooze that she should get a cortisone shot from her doctor. Tell her not to settle for creams because it takes a long time and they can be harsh on the skin... The shot will clear it up very fast.
Reply:well the prob is the oil from the wounds. you can prevent it by washing your desk and hers with disinfectant wipes most of the time. but still wash your hands if you feel you have come in conact with it
