Swiss Family Robinson we are NOT.
My two daughters recently built a tent outside - obviously, they have never read Robinson Crusoe or Swiss Family Robinson, or they'd know that you don't accessorize a teepee with poison ivy. Yes, the calamine lotion has been flowing freely at our house this week.

I'm HIGHLY allergic to poison ivy. I sympathize from the bottom of my heart.
p.s. In my experience, Ivarest (with calamine, benadryl and something else I can't recall) is better than plain calamine lotion. It's thicker and forms a protective layer and relieves INSTANTLY! Good luck!
Have 2 highly allergic family members.
ENT's use to give shots, but the government stopped them for some reason.
We learned the hard way that it spreads if sheets & pjs are not washed.
When I a little girl I would stay the summer at my Nanny's (my moms mom)! Any ways...I had a *summer* friend that lived behind my Nanny and we would play together each and every day! We had what we called a "CLUB" lol! We had our own theme song, handshake and we would collect what we called tokens (different grass, leaves, flowers and sticks out of the yard! Guess what one of our tokens was?!?! Yep! A batman leaf! lol! Poison oak! We didn't know...well, until my whole face was covered in it!!! Toooooooooooo funny! Your post took me WAY back to my kiddie days!!! lol
My sister and I used to go to our "fort" and squirt winterberries at each other. Found out later that they are toxic...
It's true, though, you never forget these thing!
