3006,

The problem with steroids is a double edged one, but if some people are like me with Poison Ivy, Oak and Sumac, it becomes either the steroids or the hospital.

If I try taking Diphenhydramine hydrochloride or brand name Benadryl once the resin causes the rashes, the amount is too great for me to stay awake.

So I wash down with some bleach in my water after working the fields or going thru the woods. Vinegar will have the same results for a wash down.

I spray the plants that I find with what I know that will stop the resin and kill the plants so then life goes on with out itching.
