The first thing to do is to bathe thoroughly as soon as possible after exposure to remove as much of the plant juice as possible. Remove your clothing immediately and put it into the washer, touching as littlie as possible. . Calomine (sp?) lotion is what was traditionally used for palliative relief. .
I do not know of a cure, but I do know of a preventative. It was on the market in the 50's for sure. It is called "Ivy Dry". It is simply a tincture or aqueous extraction of the leaf of PI and PO. There are three small bottles. You take one today, one tomorrow, and one 30 days hence. You will be completely immune to the effects of the plants for one year, assuming you respond as I did. From this, I got the Idea of eating the flowering tops of the Juniper trees, and essentially cured myself of a vicious allergy to them. Later, I learned that the local natives---Turtle Islanders---did the same thing.

I am spraying with cs/dmso mixture in hopes it will be a quick cure. This is the first time I have ever had it. Is there anything else I should do to speed things along and has anyone else had good results using cs for this? Thanks Jeff
