I'...Thanks, twg, for the herbal recommendation. I've heard eating poison oak honey also helps. Goodness know where to get that... and not that we eat honey much anyways... and not that I've ever had the rash, so for me it's a mute point. I'll direct hubby to the supplements to check out. <br /><br />Don't even get me started on his all-over body rash from penicillin after a nasty poison oak rash. We're still not sure if he's allergic to penicillin or if the rash was just that bad.<br /><br />Andy already uses Technu when he can. It's a bit difficult to do while camping without running water. Plus, it is spendy stuff.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-77032112078644571392010-11-16T18:07:46.331-08:002010-11-16T18:07:46.331-08:00I've taken an herbal supplement made from the ...I've taken an herbal supplement made from the toxins of the plant and it really really built up my immunity to poison ivy. I used to get HORRIBLE outbreaks (within a day I'd have bleeding sores and would have to go to the emergency clinic for a steroid shot and prescription-strength creams). Anyway, thought I'd pass it along: Rhus Tox PC or Rhus Toxicodendron - available in pill or pellet form at Whole Foods and similar places. Take it every day for a couple of weeks to build up your immune system, then just every so often. It really saved my life as I'm surrounded by it here on our place and often wander into the wooded areas around the pond with bare legs and sandals. <br /><br />Second product - use if you've think you've been exposed to wash up: Tecnu. It's a liquid soap that will strip off the oils from the skin to prevent further spreading and will diminish the outbreak. <br /><br />Tell your hubby to invest in both!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-61041685003146622932010-11-16T06:55:03.586-08:002010-11-16T06:55:03.586-08:00Ooh, in your line of work, I'd imagine you get...Ooh, in your line of work, I'd imagine you get poison oak colors regularly.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-6523614697199963212010-11-15T14:30:57.711-08:002010-11-15T14:30:57.711-08:00Nice.
