Vinegar - not best treatment for poison ivy

Vinegar penetrates, therefore causing the poison to penetrate further into the skin... when I treated my poison ivy outbreak with vinegar, the poison settled in my joints... causing arthritic symptoms... I took minerals to help my body process the poison out of my system....

Now, I use baking soda to treat poison ivy.... baking soda 'draws', instead of 'penetrating'... therefore drawing the poison out of the skin...

I used organic cider vinegar and suggest reading the ingredients carefully.
I also drank some organic cider vinegar - figured it wouldn't hurt under the circumstances.

Cider vinegar worked better that white vinegar. Organic cider vinegar worked best. Some vinegars sold as Cider are actually white vinegar with coloring and flavoring:
