[net.med] Poison Oak Remedy

mmm@weitek.UUCP (Mark Thorson) (09/22/85)

The best poison oak (this is California, remember) remedy I ever tried is
called IVY-DRY.  Its active ingrediants are tannic acid and alchohol.
Its advantages over calamine are:

1. It works.  Calamine never did for me.

2. It looks like tea.  When you dab it on, it is barely visible.
   Calamine looks like some loathsome skin disease (unless your
   complexion is exactly calamine color).
