Oh, bother.

Woke up this morning with my right arm itching.  Oh bother, I did get poison oak from the work weekend.

I am extreamly allergic to poison oak, but find the "hot water" treatment works wonders - run the affected area under as hot water as you can stand until it stops itching (generally a minute or two. It will itch A LOT while you're doing this). Heat releases the histines (which is what makes you itch) and it'll be a few hours before it's itching again.

Good luck! Warm fuzzies!
