I thought I was a good boy in the woods. The poison oak did not even show up until I when to a hot tub and sauna. Now I am itching my self in the butt, literally. I have tried many remedies in my life time with these poisons and found few to work. First find the infested areas and mark them off with a marker (with in reason silly), acknowledge where it started. Then pop the bubbling blisters with a cotton ball sopped with alcohol. Then treat the area with your choice of medicine. I am suggesting this from my personal experiance. I have tried to leave it all alone and it seams to spead under the skin if it is not brought up and out through the skin. To sweat is a not so good thing. For sleep purpose, wear socks (medicated and let dry) on hands to avoid a dreaming itch party. Have fun and do not think about it. These instances cause us to be more aware of our body not to hate ourselves!!!
