Tendered vs Docked

Don't blame you. Poison Ivy is no fun. Do you know about Vick's Vapor rub? Worked well in our family.

I think I have tried everything BUT that. What exactly is it? The only difficult thing for me is the kids. I never know if when they were out fishing, riding bikes, playing, etc... if they accidentally ran into some poison ivy and have it on their clothes or shoes!

Vicks Vaporub is an ointment that you can buy in most pharmacies. It is actually sold as a topical decongestant. When we were kids my mother used

it in a vaporizer at night when we were congested.

 

For poison ivy, apply it to itchy areas as needed. Be very careful where you apply it. Avoid the eyes and genital region. It provides relief from the pain, helps to prevent spreading, and the rash should clear up in a day or so, depending on severity. We've used it successfully for several years.

I grew up with Vicks but never heard of using it on poison ivy. Interesting!
