- When I was a kid my uncles would crush the leaves and then rub them on our legs. The best thing I ever knew for poison ivy is to take a bath with lye soap as soon as you can. And be sure to wash your clothes real well because the oil will still be on them and you could get poison ivy just by touching them. ===== **************************************************************************** Our WebPage!
