Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I've had it for about a week now, I've kept the outbreak from getting too bad but it still itches so bad, and I have it EVERYWHERE. On my face and lips, I have a patch in my ear, on my dick, all over my hands and arms, everything is suffering. I already washed myself with dish soap so it's not spreading anymore but goddamn if this isn't hell

You can prevent poison ivy but only shortly after contact

rinse skin with water (preferably cold, reduces absorption)
soap it
wipe the lather off with something. Do not wash the lather off, this doesn't work as well

I've come in contact with it a lot, used to get nasty reactions, but nothing since I've started this protocol
