HERB - Poison Ivy help

[Christine A Seelye-King]

I get allergic type reactions to blackberry brambles as well.  Not
anything that looks like poison ivy or blisters, but really itchy
scratches.  I usually treat it with my bug sting lotion, which has
echinacea root, plantain, yellow dock root, and garlic in an alcohol
solution and that takes care of it.  
	Hmmm...
