Dude, it sure seems to be working for me right now! Man, great excuse for masturbating. I've had this poison ivy with small blisters, weeping and serious itching. As a curiosity I tried this as a method that would dry out the skin. The itching seemed to stop on contact!
Yes, ivy can grow on brick surfaces. Ivy plants have aerial roots that allow them to attach and climb on different structures, including brick walls. However, it's important to be cautious as ivy can damage brickwork over time if not properly maintained.
Acetic acid, commonly found in vinegar, can be an effective natural chemical to kill ivy. Mix vinegar with water and dish soap in a spray bottle and apply it to the ivy leaves. This solution can help dehydrate and kill the ivy.
Poison oak can refer to one of two species of the genus Toxicodendron that are native to North America. Toxicodendron diversilobum, or Rhus diversiloba, which is the Western Poison oak, or Toxicodendron pubescens, or Rhus pubescens, which is the Atlantic Poison oak.
Be certain to thoroughly wash all affected body parts with cold water and strong detergent soap (never use hot water as it opens up skin pores driving the urushiol resin still deeper inside your skin). Never pop or rupture the blisters. Keep affected areas clean and open to the air, allowing them to dry out. It is not recommended to cover over or bandage the oozing blisters as it may lead to further complications still later on. If an infection develops immediately seek medical care from a trained medical professional.
If the itching becomes so great use benadryl gel, or hot compresses to ease the discomfort.
Poison ivy rashes last about 1-3 weeks, the itching will go away in approx. 1 week or maybe less. Avoid scratching rashes, or it will turn red and leave scars.
You're welcome!

Yes. The oil causing the rash might spread on the water surface and come in contact with your skin although after a short wile the water and pool chemicals will probably reduce the irritant so much that it will be unnoticeable.
As far as I can tell from my internet research, there is no poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) in the Philippines. However there are far more dangerous plants there such as the Stinger (Dendrocnide Moroides), the Poison Arrow Tree (Antiaris Toxicaria), the Cashew Tree (Anacardium occidentale), and even the Mango Tree (Mangifera spp.).
Poison Ivy varies by location. Again use the sayings
Leaflets three; let it be" is the best known and most useful cautionary rhyme. It applies to poison oak, as well as to poison ivy.
