If you are broken out badly you need to go to the doctor and get a shot for it and he will subscribe medicine to take also. If you are really allergic to poison ivy or poison oak it could affect you internally. Don't use the bleach it will just burn you.
I myself am not allergic to it but my mother and wife are severely. They can't even pick up my clothes when I've been in it to wash them. Each time they break out it is time to go to the doctor or it just gets worse.
So don't suffer needlessly go on to your doctor before it gets too bad.

No, just stick with the poison ivy lotion. Go watch a movie and try to forget about it for right now. It's just gonna itch for a little while, but if you leave it alone it won't be as bad.

Try a Yahoo search for "poison ivy" + "natural cures".
