A colleague at work showed up with a fairly bad case of poison oak. We
lived in a rural area in the Sierra Nevada foothills, had a lot of
poison oak, and also had a lot of manzanita, the leaves of which, when
boiled to make a solution and spread on, will really help. So, I
collected a bag of leaves for him, and told him to "boil the leaves and
use the solution with cotton balls." Next morning, he wasn't any
better. I asked him if he'd done what I said. He replied, "Yes, I used
the whole pan, and it tastes terrible! I was barely able to get it
down. What was I supposed to do with the cotton balls?"

No. But try on a little poison oak followed by a hot shower. OMG. That’s the
nice burn.

There is no such thing as a "nice" RF burn.

Caution when using this location: Make sure your counterpoise is insulated and
there’s no way to contact bare metal at this point with your hand when using
the KX2 hand-held ‘walkie-talkie’ style. I received a nice RF burn on my hand
at this point once!
