Things You'll Need:

1. After your first day or two of touching the plant that will give you a rash you will notice small bumps. After a day or two they will start to itch. Calamine Lotion works as well as anything else. It is also inexpensive. Some people recommend Oatmeal Baths if you have a severe reaction.

2. After the third day of your allergic reaction to these plants you should have most of the bumps visible. Use the Sterilized Needle and the tissues. You need to pop the bumps and push the poison from the infected area. This will help elleviate the itching sensation.
