I've had it for about a week now, I've kept the outbreak from getting too bad but it still itches so bad, and I have it EVERYWHERE. On my face and lips, I have a patch in my ear, on my dick, all over my hands and arms, everything is suffering. I already washed myself with dish soap so it's not spreading anymore but goddamn if this isn't hell

I came in here ready to defend the DC character but this is about the bad kind so carry on

Nah, I haven't read enough comics to really have an opinion on her. I've heard enough about her to know that she's based, but no opinions stronger than that

Actually I think she is quite based, although some iterations make her too much of a straw man, highlighting what people though of feminism and environmentalism.

Calamine lotion, a couple benadryl, a tylenol or two and a warm bath occasionally. That and time to allow the toxin to work it way out.

Im one of those freaks who does not really get affected by the stuff. I do a decent bit of back country hiking in areas just lousy w poison ivy/oak and dont really need worry about rashes. I get them occasionally but they typically disappear within an hour or two, if i get them at all. I learned this back in boyscouts when i was very young.

You can prevent poison ivy but only shortly after contact

  1. rinse skin with water (preferably cold, reduces absorption)
  2. soap it
  3. wipe the lather off with something. Do not wash the lather off, this doesn't work as well

I've come in contact with it a lot, used to get nasty reactions, but nothing since I've started this protocol
