Oral Ivy!

A few weeks back I took down a rather large black cherry roughly 30" DBH... the thing was COVERED in poison ivy, and had to be climbed. It was a descent day... not too hot or cold, only bad part was a little bit of rain. I did the tree on a Thursday, and had started taking the Oral Ivy the Wednesday of the prior week. Not 1 spec of rash afterwards... however I did wear gloves and a long sleeve shirt for the climbing parts.

Yesterday I had the air spade out, and had to do some trunk flare excavation on a sugar maple of about the same diameter... This tree had 1 poison ivy vine on it, roughly 2" diameter. Again, not a bad day weather wise. I had done some other trees during the course of the day (none with PI) but neglected to wear gloves or a long sleeve shirt. By last night I started to get the rash going all over my body.

So... for all the non-believers, this stuff DOES work.
 
For sure. I've been using it for decades.

I used it when I worked several winters in FL. All I know is that I didn't get any PI but my climber did.

Kinda gave me a mental rush knowing that I was ingesting URUSHIOL!

"That wich does not kill us only makes us stronger!"
 
you need to get an initial bad dose of poison ivy to become naturally more resistant to it, its not nice.

Oral Ivy worked for me, although it did me me feel spaced when i first started taking it.
 
I take it at least once a day every day. 5 or 6 drops, sometimes twice a day. I still get covered in PI. the rash is still nasty, but it cuts back the itching alot, and thats the bothersome part, so it gets one thumb up from me.
 
I wish i took it! Did a big cherry 3 days ago and just a few minutes ago here at the computer I started realizing that it is comin on strong.
