I LOVE to get dirty......by that, I mean, working in my yard. Last Saturday, I was pulling some vines and got my yearly case of poison ivy and I swear, I didn't even touch it. When I realized I had it, (again) I made my Epsom Salt paste of Epsom Salts mixed with water and applied directly on the poison ivy. It was gone the next day.
I discovered this by accident several years ago after I got the first case of poison ivy. I had tried everything....even went to the doctor. Nothing worked until I thought about Epsom Salts . It was gone in a couple of days.
