Poison Oak. Even more myths about how to "cure" this itchy rash. A fire fighter came into the med unit this morning complaining of Poison oak. He said he had been washing his rash everyday. He said Tecnu didn't work. He said Zanfel made it burn. He said Calamine made it itch more. He said he has been washing the rash with sand. Yes.....SAND. I couldn't believe my ears. SAND. He said it felt great. He said he had heard that sand would wash away the rash. He told me he had tried to "burn the rash off, with bleach". He had tried the same technique with gasoline. He said sand worked the best. I think I am going to call my friends at Zanfel Laboratories and let them know of this new medical break through. I know the entire medical field will be anxious to hear of such ground breaking news. SAND...the cure for Poison Oak. SAND could be the next secret ingredient that soap making companies are waiting for. I know the makers of antibiotics will be happy to see that SAND is being used to wash away the itch.
In all seriousness.....
DO NOT wash your Poison Oak with SAND.
DO NOT wash your Poison Oak with BLEACH.
DO NOT wash your Poison Oak with GASOLINE.
WASH with products designed to cleanse your skin....not with products designed to run in your car.
Please stay safe...

If all those products didn't work, it sounds like he was re-exposed to the plant oil. Probably from his gear that he was living in while fighting fires. Sand makes sense as it would "scratch" the itch for temporary relief. Next time he needs to wash his gear with Tecnu to stop the cycle.
