Don't know that this would help anyone deathly allegic- but mugwort(wild
herb) is a natural antedote to poison oak and ivy and it almost always grows
within 10-15 feet of it in the wild. A friend of mine transplanted a bunch
of it from dowm by the river to her berry patches and now if anyone runs
into any sumac- they just grab a handful of mugwort and rub it on.Take it
for what it's worth.
