Never wash sunburn.
Never open the blisters.
Mix a lotion of one part limewater to three parts olive oil (sweet oil), and apply.
You see, the treatment is very much the same as for burns.
Plant Poisoning
(See [Reference List])
Poison Ivy and a few other plants cause a rash upon the skin after contact with their irritating juices. Everyone should learn to distinguish poison ivy, which has three leaves, not five, as has the Virginia Creeper (see [picture] in this chapter). If this poisonous plant were recognized and avoided, there would be but few cases of plant poisoning.
Treatment:
Do not scratch.
Mop on rash a saturated solution of Epsom salt, or boric acid, or baking soda,[G] with a small “sponge” of absorbent cotton, which is to be thrown away after using. Allow application to dry in the air.
