OK, so now I find that the only way to dissolve the poison ivy oil is
alcohol and not soap and water. Anybody know of anything that makes
it better once it starts? Otherwise I am going to need to spend the
next week in ice water. AHA, methanol, I've got plenty. it will be
astringent.

You try SO hard to be like your lover Harry! And just like him, you're
a clapped out old fart with no redeeming values.

I react badly too. Only thing I found to get rid of it, rather than let it
run its course was a 5:1 household bleach to water solution. I stand in a
shower as hot as I can stand it and then dump the bleach solution on the
affected areas. It kinda burns.
I've been told that bleach is bad, but I risk it to stop the itching and
oozing. Maybe Oxyclean? It's an oxygen based bleach instead of clorine and
might work.

I'd suggest Benadryl tablets and topical Cortisone cream.

You can make your point without the "Say what?". That sounds dumb.

I would say that probably, like most people, Wayne thinks that a child
should be brought up to be self sufficient, not getting
transportation, insurance, food, living quarters and getting beer
fetched for him constantly.
