(My husband) says that when he was a kid and he got poison ivy, his mother would
put one cup of chlorine bleach in a full bathtub of water and have him
bathe in that. He says it worked but it sounds risky to me.

The Clorox works at our house too ! We rub it on the poison. If it's
really far along, scrape (itch ) the poison open, and dump it on !!! BURNS
LIKE CRAZY. Not for the feint of heart, but really dries it up !

We also learned from a friend that when he is out working where he suspects
there was poison, he wipes himself down with it before he takes a
shower/bath.
