Shit man you've got poison ivy too? I must have burned the shit, I have it all over my body and in my throat. It got better but damn, I coulda used some roids. I didn't even bother with the doctor because I didn't want to deal with the fucking coof holocough shit so I'm almost done with week 1 of toughing it out. Rub some fast orange on the big patches. Best OTC non jewed remedy for poison ivy/oak that I've found. Dries it up in a few days.

I dont get a reaction to poison ivy maybe we can use my DNA to create a vaccine for all of you, if you get a reaction to poison oak you're fucked

That's the only vaccine I'd ever consider taking. You don't know how blessed you are.

I accidentally burned poison ivy once. I was using my arms to push my chest to help me breathe. Fever got to 102. Thank goodness I had a corticosteroid inhaler from a friend. Looking back I had no idea how close to death I was. Not good stuff. Now I would have taken so much vitamin C, I wouldn't be able to leave the toilet. Same thing I'd do for any type of poisoning or severe immune reaction.

Vitamin c helps with Ivy reactions? I've read that you need to suppress your immune system to clear it up and that it hitches a ride on T cells and spreads throughout your body like that.

Vitamin c is an anti histamine. Posion ivy causes an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions are histamine rushes. Stop the histamine rush, stop the reaction.

2 g can reduce histamines in the blood by 40%

Last time I was sick I took 40 grams over a 24 hour period and should have taken more. So that's close to where I'd be for severe reactions.
