Re: [RC] poison oak - Carolyn BurgessNancy: I have to agree with Dabney. I am terribly allergic to it. You can treat it topically with hydrocortisone cream, as long as it is localized. Once it becomes systemic (if you are highly allergic, this is what usually happens) or if it is in a very sensitive area, like around the eye or other sensitive openings :-o, get the shot and go on the pills for the 7 - 10 days. Otherwise, you will be fighting a losing battle for a very long time. Carolyn Burgess --- Dabney Finch <dabneyesq@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Bite the bullet.

There's no home remedy that can compare. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancy Sturm To: Ridecamp Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 10:01 AM Subject: [RC] poison oak OKAY - so we're sort of off topic with the killer bees, how about poison oak? I have a killer case of poison oak from clearing trail (see- it is endurance related). Anyone have an effective remedy that doesn't require a trip to the doctor?
