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...
