DEAR FRIENDS,
I THOUGHT I PROCRASTINATED TOO LONG AND HAD MISSED MY CHANCE TO REPORT MY
TWO BITS ABOUT POISON IVY.
I FIND IF A PERSON WASHES WELL WITH EITHER A HOME MADE SOAP OR IF THAT IS
NOT AVAILABLE THEN USE THE OLD FASHION BROWN SOAP. (THE NAME FELLS NAPHA
COMES TO MIND) WITHIN A HALF HOUR OF EXPOSURE, YOU WILL NOT BREAK OUT IN
A RASH.
IF, FAILING TO WASH, AND YOU DO DEVELOP A RASH THEN EITHER RUB ON THE
JUICE FROM THE FLUID FILLED STEMS (RATHER LIKE IMPATIENS STEMS) OF THE
JEWEL WEED PLANT. SORRY I DO NOT KNOW THE PROPER NAME. I MAKE A "TEA"
BY STEEPING THE STEMS WHEN THE PLANTS ARE YOUNG AND FULL OF FLUID AND
KEEP IT REFRIGERATED TO RUB ON ITCHY RASHES DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE
YEAR. IF YOU DO NOT KEEP IT REFRIGERATED IT WILL GO BAD
THE PLANT GETS ABOUT 3 FOOT TALL AND HAS SMALL (ABOUT 1 INCH) ORANGE
FLOWERS WITH A SPOTTED THROAT. THEY ARE SHAPED LIKE A SMALL TRUMPET OR
HORN OF PLENTY. I SURE HOPE MARGE PAUL OR CLAIRE CAN HELP US OUT WITH
THE CORRECT NAME.
DEE ANN IN SW INDIANA
