Other home remedies:

After exposure to Poison Oak take a dip in the ocean and you wont break-out with a rash.
If you don't live near the ocean a cool salt bath may work too.
Something else a ranch hand did was... Cook pinto beans, use the juice to rub on the infected areas to dry up the infection.

INGREDIENTS: Burt's Bee's brand Poison Ivy Soap
Tea Tree Oil (also known as Melaluca Oil)

INGREDIENTS: vinegar, preparation H
INSTRUCTIONS: This remedy sounds a little crazy, but if you are itching and burning like I was, you will try anything. First, gently wash the infected area. Then blot vinegar to the area. It will sting, but this stops the itching and burning. Let the vinegar dry, and when it does, rub preparation H over infected area. I noticed the rash to clear up in only a few hours. Good luck.

INGREDIENTS: Hot Water
INSTRUCTIONS: I had poison ivy from my neck to my ankle for over 3 months. Itried everything over the counter, and nothing relieved the itching very well. Wash yourself off with cool soap and water as soon as possible.


Once you have rinsed the oils off,run the hottest water you can stand over the affected areas for as long as you canstand. The hot water will relieve the itching for several hours. When the itching returns, use hot water again. The worst of the itching was gone within 3 to 4 days. My doctor did tell me, it takes a day or two for the
reaction to completely come out on your skin, even after you wash the poison ivy oil off your skin, so it appears to "spread". Once you wash the oils off, you cannot spread it. Clothing and shoes that came in contact should be washed several times before wearing. If you
were wearing gloves and handling plants...throw the gloves out. These items absorb the oils, and will keep
transferring it to you. If your dog is rolling around in it, and you pet him, you will get more of it.

Ingredients = Jewel Weed
Instructions = - This is a plant found in the woods, usually in the same areas as the poison Ivy.It has a similar structure as Impatiens do. If you pick this plant it has a watery like juice inside, when you are exposed to poison ivy this will stop you from getting it, and will also help heal you. You just rub the watery stuff on your skin.


Calamine lotion was relatively worthless. Salt water baths might reduce the itching temporarily but seemed to increase the general irritation.Poison oak is caused by the body's reaction to the urushiol oil from the poison ivy, oak or sumac plant which binds to the skin. You can suppress the immune reaction with medicines such as cortisol, cortisone, benedryl. Or you can neutralize or remove the oil which is the approach used by many home remedy approaches here with various pastes. For years, I used the rubbing alcohol approach which would stop the incessant itching for several hours with a few moments of burning, and would eliminate the poison oak in four or five days.


Now days, I take three or four baths in a row with a strong soap, such as Castile or Fels Naptha. This stops the itching for ten or more hours at a time. If the itching starts again, I take a couple more baths in a row. In 24-36 hours, the poison oak and all the itching is totally gone. This can sometimes leave the skin somewhat dry and flaky, like after a mild sunburn.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The best thing to do for poison ivy or poison oak is to use spray starch. just spray on affected areas. you can use any brand the cheapest you can find. it really works wonders.

Ingredients: Clorox

I agree with the Clorox. Now 56y/o. When I was young my mother tried calamine, shots from MD, and nothing worked. I even came down with a staff infection from scratching once. My grandmother told me to get a clean old rag and soak it in Clorox. Apply it to the poison ivy 3 times. Slight burn the first time but itching stops. Four hours later on second application the burning is much worse. Last application four hours later and burning is intense, but poison ivy is gone. You break out in a small rash that doesn't itch and no more poison ivy. I have even poured a cup in the bath water when I had it bad in the genital area.

Ingredients: Hot water and a banana!
Instructions: Take as hot as shower as you can stand for as long as you can. It feels so good and also relieves the horrible itching. Then taka a banana peel and rub it on the infected area. the itch is gone for 8 to 13 hours, enjoy! _____________________________________

This is something I found on the Internet and have used with amazing success: Mix one T. of tumeric spice with roughly equal parts of lime or lemon juice to form a thick paste. Carefully apply to the afflicted skin. This remedy stains, and stings ever so slightly, so be advised. But it's like a miracle cure for me. For avoiding stains, use it in the tub, so the bright yellow stuff doesn't fall down and make a mess.. Let it sit on your skin for fifteen minutes, then wipe off excess. Some stain will remain. By the next day you will be astonished at how it the ivy has dried up and nearly vanished. I have been known to have poison ivy that forms huge welts, with weepy itchy centers. Prior to this cure, my p.i. lasted literally weeks, so this stuff is amazing. Be careful of the mess, however. It's like mustard.

I've heard from a native American that the leaves of deadly nightshade rubbed on Poison Ivy is also a cure

It will be all dried up and nearly gone the next day or so. Good Luck

Ingredients: Rubbing alchohol,Soap,hard bath brush and Calohist
Instructions: First off, wash all clothes that were involved when you were infected. If you drove home wash off anything you touched in the car, such as a steering wheel. Poison Ivy and Oak are not spread by scratching, but by the sap that
was on you.Go to the shower and use hot water and soap, along with a good sturdy scrub brush. Paste the infected areas with soap, then scrub really hard (not to the point of bleeding, but good and hard, as if there were grease there that you couldn't get off). Dry off and apply rubbing alcohol, liberaly to the areas with a face cloth. Wait an hour and repeat (use a different cloth to dry off with). Then after the alcohol is dry, apply Calohist or something similar to the area and watch how much better it is the next day. This can be done again the next day if it isn't all gone. I have never had poison oak or Ivy more than two days when I have done this, and most of the time it is gone in a day.I do this three to four times a day when I get it, but my skin isn't infected.

_____________________________________________

Ingredients: Boiling hot water
As a compulsive poison ivy scratcher, I get "fussed at" by my husband for scratching my very ugly rash. I get very nasty, bubbly, weepy rashes from any second-hand source, such as the kids or the dog...I never hike, garden, or even do yardwork from April to October for fear of actually coming in contact with the stuff. A friend in the Vietnam War told me if I boil water as hot as I can stand it, dip a corner of a washcloth in the water, and put it in contact with the rash, it will satisfy the itch for hours. My rashes are particularly itchy first thing in the morning, so that's what I do. Take care to keep the heat away from the unaffected skin, lest you burn yourself! But the hot washcloth really does "itch" the rash without scratching, and you only need to do it once.

___________________________________________

Ingredients: rubbing alcohol
Instructions: I am very allergic to poison oak. We moved to an old homesite with lots of oaks and poison oak.The first few months of summer I had a terrible case. Someone told me if you rub the area where you may have been exposed to poison oak with rubbing alcohol it will take it of skin before causingbreakout.It really works because poison oak is an oil from the plant soaps probably do not remove the oil but the alcohol does. I have used it after it started to itch and if rubbed well I had no breakout.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients; Potato


Instructions: I get poison oak really bad, with itchy oozy pustules all over. I got this remedy from a friend's mom and it worked for me and my brother.


Blend a potato in blender until it becomes a rough pasty blob. Put it on some plastic wrap and wrap it around affected area. Plastic wrap works better than towels. If you are treating your face poke two holes for nostrils so you can breathe. leave it on for an hour or so, next day the bubbles will be gone and the skin will turn yellowish and start flaking off. It will still itch but much less, and itching will go away soon. Rub affected area to get off excess skin but don't pick at it or it will hurt. Use vitamin E or lotion and it will look almost normal.

Just so a few less people must suffer.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I get it real bad and wanted to share this info with everyone I can find. Recently got it again and in some places it was real bad.It ranged form light red rashy areas to the weepingburning areas. I went to a little store in my neighbor-hood, where an old lady was working, to get milk.She told me to get some leaves from a peach tree, boilthem, let the water cool, and then with a cotton ballapply this stuff to it. She said it would "cure" it.Well, if you've ever had it you know you'll try anythingto get rid of it no matter how stupid. So, right after myevening shower I did what she said. Just in one spotto test it. The result was overnight!! The next morning the poison oak was brown and the skin on it lookeddead and dried up! I did all of it that night and the nextand within 2 days I was pulling off dead skin that usedto be poison oak. I can't believe there's nothing onlineabout this with all the home remedy crap that's out there.That's why I'm sharingmyexperience with everone I canfind online talking about it. It it helps just one otherperson not suffer like I was, then great! No more doctorsfor me! Tell everyone, and I hope it works as well forothers as it did for me. I would love to hear from peoplethat try it.
Good Luck!
