like the alliteration? :)
I haven't really had a problem out here with poison ivy, oak, or sumack.
What I do have a problem with is stinging nettle. Does anyone know if the
cures mentioned for poison ivy work the same for that particular plant?
just wondering,

Stinging Nettles! Ah yes, what fun. We've found a first aid cream that
knocks it on it's tracks. We bought a first aid kit to carry with us and in
it is a tube of something called Ambix First Aid Antiseptic and Burn Cream.
Never heard of it before, but, on one trip, I reached into a stump to get a
box and brushed a Nettle pant.. Boy oh boy did the itching and burning start
fast and the skin puffed right where the nettle had every so gently caressed
my skin. Well, all we had with us was the aforementioned cream so we used
it. To my surprise, the pain went away immediately. Fast forward to a few
weeks later and the same thing happens to my son and the cream preformed
magically again. I'm not sure of the brand name, but the ingredients are as
follows:
Active: Dicyclomine HCL 0.5% and Phenol 0.5%
Other ingredients: Allantoin, Benzyl Alchol, Disodium EDTA, Glyceryl
Stearate SE, Mineral Oil, Methyl Paraben, Petrolatum, Propyl Paraben, Sodium
Lauryl Sulfate, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Trolamine, and Deionized
Water.
If you can find it, we swear by it. It's made by Ambix Laboratories Dist in
East Rutherford, NJ, 07073

I know that the touch-me-nots help to take the sting out from the
nettles. As far as I know there is nothing else. I grew up in the woods
and we have always used it for that pupose. Rub the juice from the stalk
all over the stings but make sure you break it up well enough to get the
juices out.
