[QUOTE="Jisp, post: 158, member: 1553"] I just got over poison ivy or oak or sumac....not sure which. I had never ever had it before in my life. In fact I used to consider myself unaffected by poision ivy and would brag about walking through fields of it without any problems. The worst was that when this rash first appeared I went to my internist. I had a fever and was feeling quite sick as well. He diagnosis me as possibly having shingles. I was very upset. But two days later my internist had me seeing a dermatologist who corrected the diagnosis. I credit my fast recovery with the fact that the homeopathic remedy (listed above in Transform's post) for Shingles is the same as the one for the poison plant rashes. I was taking that fairly regularly and it was helping a lot. I also found this herbal salve with goldenseal and other things in it to be very helpful. Wash anything that could possibly have come in contact with the plant and plant oils...sheets, clothing, shoes etc...with a mild bleach and water solution. The dermatologist I saw (a big-wig doctor at Mass General) told me that even a molecule of the oil can cause the rash. [/QUOTE]
