Ann, I too am horribly afflicted by some kind of vine and just posted that verrry warm baths bordering on hot were the most helpful in drying out the infamation and the weeping and reducing the size of the welts. My Common sense dictates to me that medications will further toxify the body but we still have to get the poison out. Common sense dictates to me to drink lots and lots of water and eat lots of watery fruits and vegetables. I truly offer my condolences to you and your son and wish a speedy recovery. Oatmeal and cool showers also helped sooth the skin. Actually calamine lotion helped the most in getting lessengin the itch. |
