8 Survival Tips That Everyone Needs To Know

Run a warm soapy bath for poison ivy rashes.

To treat a mild poison ivy rash it is recommended that you wash it in warm soapy water as soon as possible. Taking short lukewarm baths can help to remove the irritating poison ivy oil that is causing the burn in the first place. You can also try adding a cup of baking powder to the bathwater to further help with the itching.
However, if the rash is more serious and you are experiencing a fever, swelling, and it is covering most of your body, then it is advised that you see a doctor.
