Poison Ivy

While we're talking about poison ivy I should mention -- there is *no*
topical treatment which reduces the duration of outbreaks. If your doctor
prescribes cream, change doctors. Corticosteroid pills work much better.
I have heard several reports from friends that jewelweed
(sorry... don't know common name) is particularly good at reducing
swelling and itch. perhaps it has some antihistamine qualities when
applied topically.
