Cohousing-L Mailing List: poison oak treatment

[Terry "Sarito" Whatley (sarito]

My mother remembers from her youth treating poison oak with
a milk poultice.  Recently she got it again after a trip to
our site, and soaked a washrag in milk and applied it to the
outbreak.  She says two or three applications over the course of a
day resulting in elimination of all itching and burning.

Haven't tried it myself yet.
