Again, don't let the title fool you. This is about making up your own home remedies that may, or may not work. I actually got the idea from a post regarding poison ivy..
So, without further ado... My remedy for poison ivy
Spring and summer are the seasons you really have to worry about running into that little plant... Yeah, you've all heard leaves of 3, let it be... Still 100's seems to find that shinny little plant, or does it somehow find you
Just don't let it rub you the wrong way So if you have it, here's my cure.
Forget rubbing those lotions and various dried roots and weeds, they do absolutely little to stop the itchiness. My cure also has another potentially benefit, and it's easy to do right at home.
1- get into a bathing suit, or shorts
2- Then get a good 1/2 cup of oil... I prefer Wesson Oil, but any brand will do
3- Proceed to cover your whole body in oil; not just the infected part
4- Sit in the sun for a good 1-3 hours
5- Go home and shower off any excess oil that did not wash away from your perspiration.
6- Most people will have a severe burn that will make you forget about the itchiness
For the really bold: Lay in a makeshift bed of aluminum foil to maximize your results
The benefit
Once the burn heals, you will be left with a golden tan and be the envy of everyone
