I'm pretty sure I have poison ivy. I scratched my arm earlier and felt bumps. When I checked it out closer I noticed I have a line of bumps, and another couple of bumps next to eachother. I did yard work all last week, so I'm pretty sure it's poison ivy (althought I never saw any!) I have this stuff called Ivy Stat. Have you ever used it? Does it work? What do you use that helps? HELP ME!!!
Oh no i have poison ivy! it's itchy and i need help!?
First of all wash the area thoroughly to completely remove the sticky residue (so it won't transfer to your clothes and other parts of your body). Wash any clothes that might have it on it in hot water a couple times.
Then put rubbing alcohol on the area and apply either calamine lotion, Gold Bond medicated powder (with zinc, which really helps!) or some other lotion, gel or powder formulated for poison ivy. And Aveeno makes this oatmeal bath stuff that really helped me. You can try it or some of their other products, too.
And try not to itch it. If you do, wash your hands immediately.
You might want to take an anti histamine to help with the swelling and itching if you want to (like Zyrtec or Benadryl).
You can also get steroid shots or pills from the doctor if it gets really bad. An over the counter steroid cream like hydrocortisone can also be helpful.
Good luck! You might want to learn what poison ivy looks like so you can avoid it in the future!
Reply:Go to the pharmacy and get some calamine or caladryl lotion and it should dry it up if it's not too bad. You can also ask the pharmacist. Good luck Honey. I've had it before and it's no fun.
Reply:i suggest you use calamine lotion often. This will relieve the itching and dry up the poison ivy. If this doesn't help after a few days, it could be something else so you shoud see a docter.
Reply:i get it bad when i get it. i always HAVE to go to the doctor b/c my body cant beat it alone or something... and after the doctor, it cleared up in 2 or 3 days :D but while you have it, take aveeno baths. not hot water, just barely warm. hot makes it itch. but REALLY hot water scratches it and feels good, but im sure its not good for your skin lol
Reply:contact me for cure.
Reply:pink creammm
Reply:CALAMINE LOTION.AND PUT SOM EPLAIN DRY OATMEAL IN THE TUB AND FILL WITH WATER.SOAK FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES,THEN RINSE OFF.YOU WILL STOP ITCHING SOON.AND GET SOME BENADRYL.GOOD LUCK,POISON IVY SUX
Reply:Wash the affected area very well and don't get it near your eyes...Don't scratch, get some Benidrill spray and some calamine lotion...
Reply:get the pink stuff. i think it's call calomine lotion? it will take away the itch and dry it up quicker.
Reply:go to the doctor.
they can give you a cream to put on the itch,poison ivy.
also don't scratch your arm.
or it will get worser.
i hope you get better.
and the poison ivy go away.
Reply:go to a doctor
Reply:Go to the doc and get a steroidshot. Very effective at controlling the itch. If not available try using a potent steriod cream Diprolene AF. (may have to get a script for that)
Some really good OTC stuff? Itch-X.
Do your best not to sweat, wear as little as possible and keep yourself cool.
If you break out within 4-8 hours of contact see a Dr. IMMEDIATELY. (Early signs mean an allergry) Most people break out 24-48 hours after contact.
Reply:calamine lotion
Reply:calagel. stops the itching and and dries the oozing.
*edit* if you go to the doctor, they will most likely prescribe you a steroid.
Reply:Try Eucalyptus Essential Oil. It takes the itch away on contact!
Reply:calomine lotion.. the pink stuff!

Penile yeast infection or poison ivy?
ok, yesterday in the evening i started getting an itching sensation on the shaft of the penis and the head. well, i started itching and it got red and hot. every time i itched it hurt more afterward and got irritable. the vary same night i started scracthing my face and in the morning i found poison ivy on the side of my face. i thought maby if i took a shower the ivy would come off. but it didnt. it still remained itchy, hot, and very fat and swollen. i looked on line and it kinda of resembles a male yeast infection. but then, its pretty rare for men, and i randomly developed poison ivy the same night my penis itched. which one is it? i really do not want a yeast infection.
Penile yeast infection or poison ivy?
I'm almost sure you're experiencing a reaction to poison ivy. Buy a tube of hydrocortisone 1% cream and apply it to the affected areas; it's available OTC at any drugstore.

Ivy leagues ..?
Can anyone get accepted to an ivy league if there in resource room?
Ivy leagues ..?
How are your grades, Sat scores, %26amp; other areas used as criteria? Do you have any activities you are passionately involved in that make you more interesting on paper than others...give them the right spin.....some are in resource room for difft. reasons--many who are, are very bright. so they can't give you preferential treatment but yes some do get in. being from an under-represented state helps (ie not the east coast, or CA, etc) NB: ivy schools are NOT for everyone--many are SO much happier elsewhere, and rates of admissions to grad school, prestigious programs, etc. are usually as high or higher than an ivy degree. at ivies you are with cohorts who have been praised endlessly and were the "big fish", as it were. Just be careful what you wish for....and just to help, be careful about things like using "there" when you mean "they're" good luck! lotsa good books out there; one exists just to describe 50 small schools that can change your life. (title is something like that)

Transferring to an Ivy League or top tier school?
I did very well on my SATs (800 on critical reading, 660 on both math and writing), fairly decent in high school (about a 3.7 GPA taking mostly all advanced classes), but had few extracurricular activities and no leadership positions. I applied to one Ivy League school (Cornell) and got rejected. However, I did get into some other decent schools. This fall, I'll be going to Boston University on a good scholarship and in the honors program. Now I know I shouldn't already be thinking about transferring, but I was just wondering if it would be a likely possibility for me to able to transfer into an Ivy League or something like it next year. In addition to doing very well in my classes, what sort of activities should I do to increase my chances?
Transferring to an Ivy League or top tier school?
My question to you is why you feel the need to transfer. BU is a very good school, and you have a scholarship. Make the best of your opportunity.
Unless you want to specialize in something not available at BU (likely in your Junior / Senior year), I doubt it will make much difference if you go to BU or an Ivy school. Grad schools and employers will put emphasis on your academic record, work experience and other activities, regardless of where you went to school.
Reply:First off Boston University is a top school.
Second, I agree with one of the other answers unless there is a specific reason ( degree objective) to change schools then it's not a good idea not to.
you want to build a good rapport with faculty so they can write you good letters of recommendations in the future. (for graduate school, jobs)
And!! You have a good scholarship and you are a part of the honors program. You are one of the top incoming Boston University students if you want to maintain this you'll have to work hard.
Also, wait until your freshman year is over to make a decision.
Reply:First off -- BU has an excellent reputation. US News ranks it at #57 in the country -- which is really quite good.
Now on to the bad news. The top schools accept very few transfer students. Princeton does not accept any. Harvard accepts about 35 per year out of hundreds of applications. Stanford sets a target of 20 students per year out of 1300+ applications. Chicago sets a target of 50 students per year out of about 650 applications.
Cornell accepts more transfer students than any of the other Ivy League schools. However most of those slots are reserved for New York residents tranferring into Cornell's state funded colleges. If you want to get into the College of Arts %26amp; Sciences -- then it will be just as tough as the other Ivy League schools. Bottom line -- even if you are qualified to get into these schools, it is highly unlikely that you will get in.
This isn't good news -- but it is the truth.
Reply:Well, to be honest, you need to do pretty well in college and for at least 1 1/2 years. Most colleges, including the ivies, consider a college student to be a transfer at around 24+ credits (one year-two semesters-of college).
Another truth: Cornell is the "easist" Ivy to get in to. You also only have an A- for your GPA- while that is high, there are certainly much, much higher applying to Cornell and the rest of the bunch.
Last truth, it will be much hardier to keep your grades "ivy worthy" in an Honors program.
Advice: study hard and wait until your junior year. Get good grades and try again.
P.S.- don't say top tier- that is regarding law school not undergrad.- people will get confused.
Edit:
Oh, now the true source of the quick transfer comes out. Look, if your ONLY doing it because of your friends, see how it goes at BU for a while and then see how you feel. BU is a great school with great sports, academics, and graduate work. It is in a great location and isn't too expensive. Just because you didn't get into an Ivy, doesn't mean you aren't going to succeed in life.

Ivy Eradication?
What's the best, eco-friendly way to get rid of ivy that is taking over my yard?
Ivy Eradication?
When the ivy here started to insinuate itself into my lawn and flowerbeds, I resorted to good old elbow-grease. It's non-toxic and it helped with my arthritic joints. I pulled it up as best I could and I did NOT put it in the compost because it seems to want to root and grow everywhere.
The Muse
Reply:I used a solution of salt, vinegare and dish soap and it went in one season. I've looked for the recipe but can't find it - google for it perhaps?
Reply:The best eco-friendly would be hand removal.
For a chemical I would suggest something like Brushmaster from PBI Gordon.
http://www.pbigordon.com/professional/pa...
If you have a cool season grass, this can be applied to the lawn.
See the label for more information.
Reply:Till the whole patch and rake it out of the dirt with a hard rake. Round up is a non-selective herbicide and kills everything. If it gets on the leaves of any surrounding plants, they will also die.
Reply:Round up concentrate
Reply:I agree with Muse. The only way to get rid of ivy is by good hard labor. The type of ivy will tell you how far down the roots grow. After you pull it up cover the area thickly with black plastic. This will smother the roots to kill them.
Replace the ivy quickly if you are replacing it to have the new plant out compete the old ivy.
Reply:The best way in the yard is with a lawn mower!
Roundup will kill it only after many applications. It's the hardest thing I have come across to kill. Round up is environment friendly as it will not move from the spray zone as it will bind fast to the soil. Will not leach away and you can plant anything right after spraying.

Ivy League un-necessary?
What are some either extremly famous or extremly important people who did not go to an ivy-league school nowdays? (actors do not count, politics most exemplified)
Ivy League un-necessary?
To answer your first question, no an Ivy League education is not necessary to be successful, but it can help, since they are good school and grads often end up with good connections.
Regarding your second question, most presidents (Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ ...) did not go to Ivy League schools.
Bill Gates went to Harvard, but dropped out, so I do not know if you count him.
Steve Wozniak (cofounder of Apple) went to Berkeley, but dropped out and then went back and got his degree years later under an assumed name (Rocky Raccoon Clark).
By the way, Warren Buffet went to two Ivy league school, UPenn and Columbia.
Reply:Well, I'd say if you want a good doctor, the Ivy's are still necessary.
Reply:Me, even though I'm not a politician or famous, I am an important part of this country because I spread truth and advocate smart policies.
Reply:Bill gates ?
Oprah winfrey ? She is the richest person in America.
Reply:Actually, there are not just a lot of non-ivies, but a lot of successful college drop outs as well. Bill Gates tops that list.

Ivy Tech registration...???
Okay so my question is Im taking online classes this fall because my baby is due the 2nd of august and classes start the 25th. So can I register for class's that arent in the Ivy Tech I go to. Like I go to the Bloomington campus, can I register for say Terre Haute or Muncie classes. Its all online. This is Indiana btw. So it shouldnt matter where I register for classes, cause I do it al online and I dont have to actually go there (well for tests but I can take them anywhere)???? Kinda confusing. But if you could help me at all.
I know I could call them but it seems they never answer and dont EVER return your messages. So irritating!
Ivy Tech registration...???
I applaud you for being so committed to your education that you would be taking classes just a couple of weeks after going through something as profound as child birth. That's pretty cool.
As far as taking classes in other classes, I don't have experience with online schools but I know that students can take courses outside their school and then eventually transferring it back to their school. I would imagine since it's all the same Ivy Tech, you should be able to register for your courses at any campus without even having to transfer them back to your campus. It's all the same school, it would make sense that you can take classes at any of the campuses.
Just to make sure though, you should try to call them. I know how irritating schools can be with their red tape but you do what you gotta do.
Good luck with the baby and with your education!
