Visiting the poison ivy site, I am reminded. LEAVES OF THREE, LET THEM BE!
Needless to say the kids and I have all gotten it. Thankfully this year's recovery has been MUCH better than year's past. Thanks to Aveeno! Their colloidal oatmeal bath along with their anti-itch cream has done wonders. And it is kid friendly. The kids rash did not even spread. Mine did because I initially thought I had bug bites which I itched and spread the poison ivy to other parts of my body. DOH! It is almost gone now and Aveeno has really worked well.

I'm very familiar w/those 3 leaves. We love hiking too and I seem to get poison ivy every year.
Yikes! Even though I love camping and hiking, I've somehow managed to avoid ever getting poison ivy. We're planning on camping once we move to the east coast, so thanks for the info on Aveeno!
Thanks for the lesson. Though I don't do outside often, my friend Plain and Simple caches far and near. I will make sure I remind her. :)
I never enjoyed science class, but I'll try to remember this lesson!
When I was a kid I hid in a patch of poison ivy. OOPS!!! At the time all I had for relief was calemine lotion - looked like I was wearing pink tights.
Fortunately my mom sound something in a spray can (Ivy Rid, I think) and it worked great!
