I'm extremely allergic to Poison Ivy.  I have had it so bad I had to get creams 
at 90.00 for 4 oz jar.   The beast result I had at that time was just hot 
water, (as hot as you can stand it) in the shower.  It calmed it down for the 
first time in about 10 days, and I got my first good nights sleep.  I told my 
doctor about it, and he said "don't do that again, Please don't do that" 
(amazing!)  A couple of more days of that, and it finally went away. The 
Urushiol oils are washed away with the hot water, and it will swell some 
because it brings the blood and lymph to the surface to remove the rest of 
it.......   I have since heard that human urine, (your own is ok), will stop it 
almost immediately.  Do it right after contact is best.  An herb called 
jewelweed, which usually grows near the ivy patch, will cure it very quickly 
also.  It is available online.  Google knows where.
