I was going to save this one for later, but now is as good a time as any. During one of our field exercises in basic I got poison ivy on my hands. This in itself is not a big deal, but when you are in basic training, the last thing you want to do is tell the drill sergeant that you need to go to the clinic while everyone else is setting up tents to clean them up and clean all the stuff from the field. So, I decided to not tell anyone and instead I used a green scratch pad and scrubbed the poison ivy until it bled, then poured rubbing alcohol on it. Did it hurt? He’ll yes it hurt, but the poison ivy was gone, however my hands hurt like the dickens for a day or two.

I actually used that remedy a couple weeks ago when my hands itched sooo much. The alcohol stings but when it dries you have hurt instead of itch.
Thanks again Dave. Do hope somebody else is enjoyinh this besides me.
If nobody else is looking at it, at least we are enjoying it.
