I seem to have poison ivy.  Again.  You would think that as a grown ass man I would not get poison ivy on such a frequent occurrence.

But, you know, you'd be wrong. :-)

There are worse things in the world, but this is pretty dang annoying :-)

I thought you lived in the big bad city? Where are you getting poison ivy?

I got it for the first time a year ago and thought I'd lose my mind.

I never got it until late May. I run a lot and our nation's capital actually has large swaths of wooded terrain. I attempt to avoid it, but am rarely successful...

Well bless your heart. What do you use? I think I had this stuff called tecnu (?) that seemed to ease the agony.

Eh.... I don't actually put anything on it. I just deal with it, keep it clean and wait for it to vanish. (And whine about it a bit...)

I might investigate a cream. Toughing it out is overrated.
