Poison Ivy in eye? Or something else?
My boyfriend has been perfectly fine all day, and just a minute ago he came back from the bathroom complaining that his eye was burning and itching. He also said that when he looked in the mirror there was pus all inside of it. He managed to get the pus out, but it has continued to itch and burn. My mom told us to put eye drops in it, and that it would more than likely clear it up, but it just made things much worse on him. Now his eye is just burning. He is also complaining of breathing problems and blurred vision. We have recently been to a creek with massive amounts of poison ivy, oak, and sumac, and I am extremely allergic to all three, so naturally I have one of them (or possibly all of the above) all over me. He claims to not be allergic to Ivy, but is unsure about Oak and Sumac. He also has a bit of what looks to be one of the afore mentioned on his...well...privates. Any ideas what this could be? I'm pretty sure its a poison plant of some sort, but mom says its probably just something in his eye. And, if at all possible could you tell me what kind of treatments could be used to help? I appreciate any advice.
Thanks. :)

It's possible he may be having a severe allergic reaction to something. If he's having difficulty breathing then that's not good. You should take him to the ER.
Anywhere you have skin you can get poison ivy. I became ill once when someone was burning poison ivy leafs.
I'd strongly recommend going to the doctor, unless someone on here is a doctor themselves and can offer you medical advice.
