Natural Poison Oak Prevention?
I tend to have delayed reactions to skin irritants and am concerned about very likely poison oak exposure. (The other person I was hiking with got very severe poison all over his body and we were hiking the same place.) It's possible I do not react to poison oak at this point or that my long clothes protected me. But I would like to take preventative measures, if possible. I've read things that say some people take 7-10 days to break out in the rash. And my body is the type that may do that if I develop a poison oak rash. It's been about 3-4 days at this point. Is there anything I can do? Take a bath with something in it? Take an herb of some sort? Any suggestions? Or am I pretty much in the clear for the hike itself? (Though the clothes, shoes, and blanket involved have not been washed yet.) Thanks.
