You bathe in cool water and scrub the oils off your skin--takes a whole minute but it feels good to scrub. Every day, 3-4 times. That will help to keep it from spreading and relieves the itching some. There's also a poison ivy itch relief ointment that works fairly well. I use both: scrub, pat dry gently, then apply the ointment. Other than those OTC meds, steroids are the only thing. Hope you get better really soon! I know you're miserable.

You can also get a rash on your skin from the smoke as well as a rash internally from breathing it. bookgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391978431526048121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-40752657168935796372013-02-12T12:41:25.583-06:002013-02-12T12:41:25.583-06:00Ouch!!

And the thing with organic gardening -- years ago I had an organic flower farm and attracted every single beetle and bug for miles around because I wasn't spraying toxins to eliminate them.
