poison

Published Sep. 7, 2008

Does anyone know how long it takes for poison to go away? My son got into some while with his dad and it's gone untreated by his dad for a few days. Soooo.... got kids back on Friday and it's horrible! Why would their dad not treat it?! grrrr..... dumbazz!

If it is bad he will need steroids, pills, cream.

Good luck.

You will need to wash all of their clothes and adding some bleach to the water. Shoes too. The posion will last for a long time on clothing and shoes until their are washed with added bleach. Dab a little toothpaste (make a semi-watery paste) on the affected skin.

my mom used to get those packets of aveeno to put into our bath water. dumped it in with warm water and let us soak. that may help sooth the itching. maybe you can try benedryl cream, max strength, maybe benedryl by mouth would help, esp to sleep better. if you go to the pharmacist, they can def tell you some helpful hints.

My dad and sister are very susceptible to poison ivy. Have your son take a tablespoon (maybe less since he's younger)of white vinegar once a day. My dad used to have to go get cortisone shots until he found this regiment. All of us kids are also really allergic to tick bites, works for this as well!

lol...not doing the clorox thing....

Poison IVY or OAK, I hope....

DON"T put clorox on your son's skin. Read the label.

Thanks again.... bet I'll have to take him to the doctor... sigh

good luck, Packy,,I gotta scoot. Have a good one

thanks, khaki,,it was a few years ago but very scary

my hubby scratches his spots then pours alcohol over them,,burns like fire but stops the poison in it's tracks. For my son however that doesn't work. He's highly allergic and for every outbreak he's ever had, it has required steroids

We use a couple of different things for poison ivy. Fels naptha soap will help clear it up. Just have then wash with it about three times a day. I also and HIGHLY allergic to it. Most of my family can roll around in like a hog in slop and not get but a mild case. The other home remedy is wash real well and pour hydrogen peroxide let it bubble,then rubbing alcohol.It smarts a little but makes the itching go away. Hope this helps.
