I'm sensitive to poison ivy. I can look at it and break out. The soap trick goes back to my Grandmother. The folks who lived off the land knew how to make their own medicine. Of course, what she used on us was her home made lye soap, but the Octagon is close to the home made stuff.

This is the first bad break out I've had. I was pulling weeds in my flower beds and I learned what poison ivy looks like! hahahaha

Oh...how well I remember my grandmother's homemade lye soap! I also remember her telling me the story about when her brother lost his finger in a columbine. Her dad picked up the finger and stuck it back on the boy and then tied it up with rags. Once the finger was secured they "kep ta pourin turpentine on it till it healed good" !!! Can you imagine the pain of that? But my great uncle had that finger all the time I knew him!
