Well anonon I realize that due to the time lapse you will probably never read this but; really? The term Poison Oak is a misnomer. It is not actually poisonous or toxic in any way. However, many human bodies have an allergic reaction to it. It is similar to saying that because many people are allergic to pollen, flowers are fatal to goats.

I really don't know scientificly but I know I've had goats for 40 years and eating poison oak has never killed them or for that matter my horses that seem to relish the plant. We drink the milk and have had no adverse reactions from it either. Maybe my goats just didn't realize it was toxic, so I won't tell them for fear they will get sick now...But seriously, in 40 years we have not lost a goat due to poison oak eating... -

POISON OAK IS TOXIC TO GOATS!!!!!!How stupid can you be to recommend having goats eat the poison oak from gardens.Get your facts straight before posting them on the internet. I hope someone sues you for what you've done here.

Vibe, made by Eniva, is awesome. It is sticky sometimes, but it also takes down the swelling, dries it and, takes away the itch. You can only get it through Eniva.

Do not heat the skin. Yes, it feels good in a weird sort of way, but it will cause the rash to worsen and last longer. Use Tecnu to prevent the rash or curtail it. Take an antihistamine. I am extremely allergic to poison oak and I am an outdoorsman. I have had it hundreds of times, I know of what I speak.

After suffering for over a week, the itch was so unbearable I went to the doctor. She gave me Zyrtec. It worked wonders, I finally got a full nights sleep.

Use a hair dryer to heat up the skin where the rash is present; get the area good and hot for several seconds (don't burn yourself). At first it makes the skin itch more, but in seconds the itch goes away and stays away for hours! I read this elsewhere and just tried it, and it works very well for me. Inexpensive, too.

Shower the spot where the ivy causes irritation. Use water as hot as possible. This quickly removes the itch and removes oil from the blisters. But be sure to dry it with a paper towel ... a towel will allow it to spread.

Fels-naptha is a bar laundry soap. It works to remove the poison oak oils off of one's skin after working to get rid of the plants. It is best to wash twice and if needed to leave a 3rd lathering to dry on the skin. Oatmeal is a wash for more delicate skin. My dogs used to run through it. Hyland's poison oak tablets rescued me. They can be taken before exposure as a preventative or after to relieve to dermatitis and help it to heal quicker.

Dilute a small amount of bleach with water and apply to the skin with a washcloth. It instantly cools the skin, stops the itch, and helps dry up the poison.

Apply Elmer's School glue to your skin(poison ivy), this dries it up and helps prevent it from spreading.
