Poison Ivy? I am struggling with it body and garden?

Question

I thought I got it all, I came into contact 3 years ago, I have done all the reading up through the internet and also any articles I can find. I have been to the Doc's and have prescription cream, but still it is not enough.

Does anyone have any tricks to getting rid of it on the grounds?

and I just can't believe I have spots on me again. It is like someone splattered me with a spray of milk. Not a lot just spots all over. What a mess and so painful and itchy. Any suggestions?

To get rid of the actual plant: http://www.nps.gov/phso/ipm/poisonivy.ht...

It talks about ridding it from a public park, but the actual removal methods would work just as well for your yard.

To get rid of the rash: sorry, but you're just going to have to wait it out. The prescription cream is probably to control the itching rather than actually get rid of the rash. The rash goes away by itself in about 2 weeks and treatment of it is usually confined to treating the itching unless you're having an allergic reaction.
