I think you're actually supposed to use baking soda!.!.!. !._!.;; I know no one thinks about it, but they are different!. :) You could always try an oatmeal bath and whatever you do, DONT SCRATCH, unfortunately it spreads and can then just spread and spread even when you think it's gone!. :( I hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
the goo from the plant makes u itch, you have to wash everything or whatever you touched b4 will give it 2 u again!. use your bedding, clothes, towels just once then wash them!. look up what these plants look like and read about their root system and wear gloves when weeding, then wash them or throw them outWww@Answer-Health@Com
tell your parents then they can call up someone in the morning meanwhile distract yourself from itching it willl make everything worse!. but it should pass soon enough!. put on some creams that relax your skin or have a nice long soak in the bath!. hopefully your fineWww@Answer-Health@Com
