I was weedeating at my parents and managed to probably whack some poison ivy. I only know because of the rash, so I'll have to go around the property later when it grows back and take care of the evil plant, lol. But all I had on hand was colloidal silver. (truthfully not even 'real' colloidal silver, although it's labelled as such it's probably the ionic or whatever is called.) Anyway, since it's all I had, when I noticed the rash I soaked a paper towel and put that on it. Instant, and I mean INSTANT relief from the itch! Holy heck. I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't expecting it to work at all but that's all I had on me while traveling (since I take it for other things.) I kept the CS on the rash for maybe a couple minutes. The itch stayed away for 48 hours!!! I reapplied when it came back. I'll be home in a few days and probably toss some aloe on it. But this definitely works on the itch. I wish I knew the "why" behind it working though.
Colloidal Silver

My son keeps finding poison ivy. It is hard in the winter because the oil of poison ivy is in the roots and stems and you don't have the leaves to clue you in to pending trouble! Anyway, he had a bad rash on his leg from the poison ivy. He had been scratching it and it was starting to look infected. I had him put colloidal silver gel on it. I bought some Silver Shield Colloidal Silver Gel to have on hand as an easy treatment for kitchen burns and we have used it for such several times. Well, the silver gel did stop the infected look his rash had and he was convinced that it was helping the rash. He kept putting it on the rash and it cleared up quicker than usual. I will definitely be using this again in the future. I can't have too many remedies in my poison ivy arsenal! ~Mama to Many~
