    Baking soda paste that helps or take acetone and rub it on that drys the skin out and DO NOT itch it

    The habanero peppers sounds pretty bad, I think that one WINS for the major "ouch" reaction. I was swimming in the surf in Tulum, Mexico and got a minor jelly fish sting" about as high up the leg as you can get"... fortunately it was minor. I was not happy for a day or two, but it wasn't that bad. Habanero peppers.... ouch!

    One poor girl on Columbia Recovery, squatted to relieve herself out in the field and ended up with poison ivy in spots no one wants to think about..... EVERYONE felt bad for her. You know its bad when no one teases you or jokes.

    This won't stop it from spreading, but aloe can sometimes relieve the itching.

    When we moved into our farmhouse, my daughter wanted me to carve a point on a stick so she could pick leaves out of the yard. I went out back, broke a twig off of a tree, and carved a point. I got a piece in my eye, and wiped it out. Turns out it was poison oak!!! Needless to say, I was in the ER 2 days later.

    Thing that sucks about poison ivy is you can count on 10 days in and 10 days out. It takes 10 days for it all to appear and 10 days for it to disappear.

    If you are over 21 I suggest drinking rum...if under 21.....benedryl

    Reduce the rash, since it reduces the immune response.
