The poison in ivy, sumac, poison oak is all the same.  Urushiol.  It is an
oil, so you need to get rid of the oil.  The runaway best thing I have found
(and I am extremely allergic) is just plain hot water.  I get the shower as
hot as I can stand it and itching disappears.  It will swell up, but I think
this is bringing the lymph in and that is what gets rid of it...   any
comment?
