You can treat severe or mild poison oak by taking a really hot shower and then rubbing it hard w/ bleach. Don't itch!! I have had poison oak and it is quite unbearable. But if you itch it too much, it will turn black and leave a permanent scar (I have one from poison oak on my leg!). Wait a little after the bleach treatment and then put a TON of olive oil to smother on the affected area. Olive oil, for some reason, literally KILLS itch!!!!! It will reduce healing time from 2 to 3 weeks to 1 to 1/2 weeks if used every hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burning poison oak (or poison ivy or poison sumac) can release the urushiol, which is the oily substance in poison oak that many (but not all) people have strong reactions to. Worse, the urushiol will be carried in the smoke from the fire, and it will get into the lungs of anyone who breathes in the smoke. If you think that having poison oak on your arms and legs is bad, just imagine having that poison oak reaction on the inside of your lungs.Bottom line: do not ever burn poison oak.
