If you want to eliminate or reduce the agony of a poison ivy infection next summer, now is the time to do something about it. It sounds too good to be true, but for 17 years Eric’s Pharmacy in Shawnee, Okla., has offered a simple treatment that is very effective. Pharmacist and owner, Eric Winegardner uses an old German formulation to create a compound that includes a small amount of Rhus Toxicondendron (the base substance in poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac) and plant resin. It’s sold in packs with three liquid vials. One vial is taken each week for 3 weeks, by holding the liquid in the mouth 30 seconds before swallowing.
  “Basically it’s like an oral vaccine,” Winegardner says. It builds immunity against symptoms from the poison plants. He admits he was skeptical when he first got the formula from another pharmacist. Now, he notes, his customers would be very angry if he quit making the Homeopathic compound.
  About 75 percent of his customers are local ranchers or businesses like gas and power companies that buy the solution for their workers. The rest of the sales are made through the pharmacy’s website ($16.95).
  “It has varying degrees of effectiveness. Just about everyone will respond to it. Most become immune, some still get a mild rash. For some it just doesn’t work,” Winegardner says. “But from our experience most people respond to it. It’s changed a lot of people’s lives.”
  There are very few side effects with the Homeopathic treatment. He’s only heard of a few people who got a light rash. The crucial thing is to take the treatment during the winter, when poison ivy is dormant. The dose lasts about a year and is safe for young children as well. Winegardner adds that it’s important to avoid using minty mouthwash prior to taking to the solution as it prevents absorption.
