Lynda Kamrath replied to Heather & Brinkley's discussion Poison Ivy is the culprit of my itching Doodle"Poor Brinkley. We know what it is like because Harpo has had is several times (poison oak, not poison ivy) and is just getting over a case now.

When you have time, read through this discussion Sherri posted when she was struggling with Winston's allergy issues...just in case you ever wonder about these "holistic" treatments. It's pretty funny, but scary, too. And there are some good tips about chamomile foot soaks that might help Brinkley: http://www.doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/is-alternative-or-new-age-medicine-hokum?id=2065244%3ATopic%3A2932219&page=1#comments
