There actually is a pretty quick cure for poison ivy. I got poison ivy pretty bad back in the days of scouting. The plant is called "Jewelweed" and yes it grows in the columbus area. I know b/c I lived there and I had some growing in my backyard. You just break the stem open and rub the liquid on the inside over the rash. Mine cleared up in about 2 days. It's good stuff. Go find some and give it a try.
