We are also using some acne pre-moistened pads for the areas around her eyes (it helps dry up the blisters). The blisters are now flat (but not popped) - if that makes sense. After just 24 hours with this treatment she is outside playing with her friends. Thank you so much for all your kind comments and emails. (hugs) <br /><br />Blessings...

I recently attended an Amish flea market and there was an elderly lady selling lye soap. I too am allergic to poison ivy and looked a little worse for wear from having been in a poison ivy patch! She just gave me the lye soap, told me that "no one needs to use toxins, such as Benadryl. The soap worked and I love seeing the "lye soap lady" whenever we are at the Market.Olliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13239951365942828392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737653296388602253.post-66005720181285155382012-08-17T06:56:40.076-05:002012-08-17T06:56:40.076-05:00I do hope she is well again.

I would be very careful with the old lye soap. Chances are with its age it is probably OK but old lye soap was often made with cheap dirty oils and due to lack of internet knowledge and soapmakinf skills, they could be lye heavy and actually cause some burns. If you email me at opies99@gmail.com I would be so happy to send you some very safe, purely natural hanmade soap to try. But wrapping in lace...very very pretty.

If you have a local healthy food store they should have what you need. Treatment is based on symptoms. If she is better from hot water application then Rhus Tox if from cold then Ledum. If the blisters are filled with yellow fluid Anacardium. Or if she's worse at night and from heat Graphites. You can get books from the library or the health food store. Hope this helps and from what I understand if you do a homeopathic treatment the next time she is exposed, it will be much milder.<br />Leslie A.
