I can get poison ivy pretty badly, and someone told me about putting hot water on it to stop the itching. I tried this, and it worked, but then my ma told me that she thought putting hot water on it would either keep the poison ivy longer, make it worse eventually, or help it to spread. The poison ivy's been itching somewhat badly lately, and the hot water tap has been begging me to use it, but I haven't gone near it because of what my mom thinks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether her ideas are true or not. |
