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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
