Hi Patti: You can buy Fels Napa <sp> laundry soap at your grocery store.? It is in the laundry detergent section, and comes in bar form, not powder or liquid.? Start showering using this in place of your regular bath soap.? It will start drying up the spots within a few days.? It is non-irritating, too.? You will need to buy it at a large store like Safeway, or Giant Food.? And, look carefully for it.? It is usually on the top shelve, or bottom shelve, and can be hard to spot at first. Good luck, B Hively -----Original Message----- From: Patricia Cross <chstormdog@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, Jul 21, 2009 7:44 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] OT - Dealing with Poison Sumac, Oak & the others Does any one have a quick cure for dealing with this nasty stuff? I found some "accidently" while pulling what I thought were weeds over 2 weeks ago. It was growing up with my azalea bush.? I have sprayed it and it is some pretty tough stuff as it doesn't die very easily. Now I have just finished a 10 day dose of prednisone and it is still appearing and itching like crazy. The Caladryl just isn't working to relieve the itch and taking Benadryl while trying to work is not an option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
