I would imagine an antihistamine would help relieve at least a little of the itch. Try to keep it as dry as possible and STOP SCRATCHING! If you scratch in your sleep, put some socks on your hands. Hope you feel better soon!

For whatever reason I am not allergic to it, so I don't know what to tell you!

Don't let..
And just so everyone knows..
Poision ivy cannot be spread from one person to another except in VERY limited scenerios.. It is caused by an oil on the leaf of the plant.. That oil gets on your skin, and causes the bumps and itching.. So far so good.. The ONLY way to get it is from the oil of the plant.. Therefore, the only way to catch it from another person is to rub against a spot on their body that has the oil on it.. The thing is, the oil will be gone the first time you take a shower, and maybe even before you show the first symptom of the reaction. The pus and shit that comes out of the wound.. Its just pus.. Its not the oil, and it CANNOT give you the reaction. Think about it, if it could, you would NEVER get rid of the shit.. You would keep infecting yourself over and over. Does not work like that.. You also can't spread it, except for when the oil is actually on your skin. Again, after the first shower, it cannot be spread. Just some helpful information from someone who has been to the hospital a few times from that fucking plant.. Corisone shots.. mmmm.. So good.. Its gone in 12 hours. Puma

Hey listen....
When I was really young...5 or so, I got a REALLY bad case of posion ivy on my face and in my eye. My grandmother was told to use a VERY ripe banna peel (brown) and rub all the sticky stuff on my face. Do it a couple of times a day.... Dont laugh, it worked!
