iam pregnant and have poison ivy.. does anyone know what i CAN use that is SAFE for the baby?
Poison ivy....?
Cut an orange in half. Rub the juice side on the weeping sores. This will dry up the moisture and keep it from spreading. Try to wear pajamas to bed and change them each day. Change the pillowcase too. Shower and use a towel only once. Don't let anyone else use your towel or face cloth. Wash your hands as often as you can and don't touch your eyes.
Reply:Zanfel poison ivy wash and calamine lotion is safe when pregnant. I wouldn't risk the corticosteroids while your pregnant.
Reply:The product is called Dr West's Poison Ivy Skin Cleanser. Yesterday I was wood cutting and forgot about some poison ivy on my left side of where I was cutting. When I awoke this am I knew immediatly why a hand sized spot on my left fore arm was inflamed and itching like mad. I had bought some of Dr Wests product about 2 years ago and it seemed to work then on smaller instances of poison ivy. I was not sure about the shelf life so now was the real challenge. So, I treated the large area on my arm about 10 times within 45 minutes this morning. As I write this the poison ivy is almost totally gone except for a little redness. IT TOTALLY WORKS! From what I remember this product just deactivated the oils in the poison ivy and does it naturally. The phone number on the bottle I have is 18774DRWEST or you can find it in this list:

I find it amazing how cures to things come along and unless they are 'blessed' by the medical community they do not see the light of day.
I will be keeping this stuff in my medicine cabnet. Good luck!
