[pct-l] Poison Oak Recovery

[Bob Bankhead]

Overheard in Lyell canyon one dark night:


"Hey, Yogi. Look what I found."

"What's that, Boo-Boo?"

"Two all-human drumsticks slathered with special sauce."

"What, no lettuce, cheese, and pickles on a sesame seed bun?"

"This is Yosemite, not Mickey D's. You coming?"

I wonder if this might be of interest.
When I've suffered with sun-burnt and suffering with raw, sensitive skin I
have found a liberal covering with Natural yoghurt an excellent treatment,
instant relief and all pain eased overnight.  Once when yoghurt was not
available I used crisp thin slices of raw potato laid overlapping covering
the wounded area.  I imagine one could pulp the potato and use the pulp. 
Natural Yoghurt was Superior.

Worth trying?!

Cheers, malcolm
