Ya know BullD I've found on the occasions that I've had poison oak that showering and using a bath/shower scrub that contains pumice has gone a
r e a l long way as far as getting the constant itching to abate somewhat. Salt scrubs are a nice second choice - although I suggest you try getting one that's not scented as they usually contain oils.

Can't always pick these up in aisle 7 of the Safeway so you might look for one of thos hoity(sp?) skin and body care places.

Living in the Santa Cruz mountains, where poison oak holds the soil in place, lets me suggest two poison oak remedies.

1. (warning, brand name alert) Technu is a "soap" that binds to urushiol, the active ingredient in poison oak. It is best used immediately after exposure, but helps a lot with existing patches when applied after a hot soak/shower.

2. Take a really hot shower, with most of the heat on the affected areas. It's a bit perverse, but the scalding makes the itch less severe, and may get rid of some of the oils.

I'm not a doctor, but I play one on the playa...

Also, a big crush to all kind burners everywhere!

Yep. Forgot that one.

Thanks Placebo.

Yep, scalding hot showers with this crap all over is orgazmic.

I got some poison ivy/oak what-not on my leg a couple summers ago while I was Geocaching and ended up going to the doctor 3 times!! It went from my upper thigh to my foot..........I ended up with a infection and was put on steroids to clear it up. Can you say, "Steroid munchies"? Um, yeah......."Steroid munchies"!!
Took like 2 months to clear up. Next time I'm gonna wear pants no matter how warm it is!!
I now have Technu in my med cabinet.

Oh, and I forgot I almost ended up in the hospital because the doctor wanted me to have a IV for the meds!!

Timely, I just read about using a spit poultice of plantain leaves to soothe and heal poison oak. No adverse side effects.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:39 am

Where do you get planatian leaves?

tonytohono · Post by **tonytohono** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:39 am

Bull, you haven't had it before? I had it once when I was a kid. I am immune to it now. No one else has developed immunity to it?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:41 am

I thought that getting it makes you more apt to get it again?

Just being where plantains grow is a remedy for lotsa stuff.

Plantains...isn't that a type of banana?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 10:44 am

I am temporarily immune. I lived amoung it for two years with no apparent effect. I also had it as a kid. Apparently, immunity at one time doesn't mean immunity forever. My mother gets it real bad--oozing like said.

I suffer from this shit two to three times a year. No, I have not built up an immunity. living where I do, it just happens.
