The best long term solution for dealing with poison oak/ivy is using a product called "oral ivy."  It is a solution of poison oak/ivy extract mixed in alcohol.  You mix 2-5 drops in a glass of water and drink it daily for a couple of weeks.  After that you can take it less regularly.  This builds immunity to the poison oak/ivy oils.  I've done this for two years with excellent results and i am in it all the time.  I will still occasionally get a small patch of it but it doesnt spread and is really no problem.  This product will also help to ease symptoms, but once you have it... you have it!  I purchase oral ivy through "Forestry Suppliers."  Look for them on the internet.  It costs about $15.

Tips for existing poison oak.
- dont itch it.
- do not take baths, especially hot bath!
- wash with castile soap in a cool shower so you don't open pores

- other than that once you have it the only true solution is.....TIME!
